Curriculum, approach to phonics and reading schemes

Foundation Stage

In the Foundation Stage (also known as Reception) the curriculum is based on the Early Years Foundation Stage. There are seven areas of learning:

Prime areas:

    • Personal, social and emotional development 
    • Communication and language
    • Physical development

Specific areas

    • Mathematics
    • Literacy
    • Understanding of the world
    • Expressive arts and design 

Approach to phonics and Reading schemes

For phonics, we follow Read, Write Inc. We have daily 20 minute phonic sessions where children are grouped according to their needs. These groups are assessed regularly ensuring fluidity and consistent progress throughout the groups/phases.

Our reading books are book banded and incorporate a very wide range of reading books predominately Read, Write Inc reading books.

Pupils move onto free choice when they are ready and are able to choose from the school library and from home.

We aim to make our curriculum relevant, enjoyable and creative, suiting the needs of all of our pupils.

English and Maths are taught as separate subjects in daily English and Mathematics sessions and skills learnt during these lessons are developed further through other curriculum areas.

The Foundation subjects are in themes. Each theme can last up to a term. ICT/Computing is embedded across all areas of the curriculum.
