Reading is at the heart of our curriculum and we aim to have all of our children reading with confidence despite their starting points. 

Phonics is taught through the use of the DFE validated Systematic Synthetic Phonics programme ‘Read Write Inc.’ It is a whole school approach to teaching early reading and writing, designed to ensure progress for every child. Integrated comprehension, writing, grammar, spelling, vocabulary and handwriting means that Read Write Inc. is more than just a phonics programme and helps develop key literacy skills for every child.
