Curriculum Information
English
Our English Curriculum is based upon Ready Steady Write - Literacy Counts. Please see the information below:
Alternating fiction and non-fiction, each 3 week block follows a four-step structure:
| Immerse | children explore the setting and description with a strong focus upon vocabulary. |
| Analyse | children explore the text type, structure and purpose the specific genre they will be writing. |
| Plan | children have quality time to plan and draft their final piece of writing. |
| Write | children draft, edit and produce an extended piece of writing which the 3-week plan has been building towards. |
| Throughout each 3-week unit, children have regular opportunities for incidental writing, this can be in various forms, including: prediction, poetry, setting or character description. |

Phonics and Early Reading
We adopted 'Little Wandle Letters and Sounds Revised' to teach a systematic and synthetic phonics programme in September 2022.
The policy outlines our 'intent.' Our implementation will be rolled out and further developed over time.
