Core Skills
The core skills strand includes: phonics, reading, writing and mathematics.
The teaching of English follows bespoke programmes. We also use Accelerated Reader for children in the whole class reading modules.
Phonics Writing 
Our phonics programme is bespoke and follows a systematic synthetic form of teaching which meets the criteria set out in the DfE Reading Framework validation document (April 2021). It teaches children to both segment and blend words, and recognise, by sight, non-decodable words. This means our children develop reading fluency (accuracy and speed) alongside developing their letter formation.
