KS1
The school follows a broad and balanced curriculum, in line with the National Curriculum 2014, focused on meeting age related expectations and developing potential in every child. The curriculum is delivered in a cross curricular way using a 2 year rolling programme. Lessons are taught using a combination of whole class teaching, group work and individual work. By utilising a creative approach to our curriculum we aspire to foster a love of learning in all children.
Reading and phonics
The school teaches reading and phonics using Letters and Sounds and the Read Write Inc teaching programmes.
The school uses the Read Write Inc reading books to teach Guided Reading and a variety of reading schemes for home readers including Oxford Reading tree, Collins Big Cat, Oxford Literacy Web and Dandelion Launchers

RESOURCES FOR PARENTS IN THE EVENT OF SCHOOL CLOSURES
Remote learning is in place in the event that school has to be closed to most children. This is provided via Google Classroom and all children have log in details to access the work. Please check regularly for your child’s work for each week. There will be daily English, Maths and Phonics work together with extra tasks from foundation subjects such as RE and PE.
If you are not able to access the learning online you can request a paper copy from the school office – as the government has asked everyone to reduce journeys out of the home we’d ask that you only come to school to pick up a pack if it’s essential. Packs are available Monday-Friday from 9am-4pm.
Here are some other ideas – you don’t need to use them all, give them a go and see what works best for you.
