Phonics Update

Published on:

Phonics is taught at the school from the Early Years/Foundation Stage through to the end of Key Stage 1/start of Key Stage 2 (where appropriate). From September 2021, the school has followed the Little Wandle Letters and Sounds Revised phonics scheme, as this best suits the needs of our students. 

This is a complete systematic synthetic phonics programme (SSP) developed for schools by schools. Based on the original Letters and Sounds, but extensively revised to provide a complete teaching programme meeting all the expectations of the National Curriculum, the Ofsted Deep Dive into reading and preparing your children to go beyond the expectations of the Phonics Screening Check. 

If you have any questions about how to support your child with phonics, please visit our dedicated phonics page. We encourage you to keep an eye on the page over the year, as we will continue to update it with more resources.
