We use Read Write Inc. Phonics as our structured, systematic phonics programme. It provides a consistent and carefully sequenced approach to teaching children the sounds they need to read and write confidently. 

We place reading, writing and talking at the heart of our curriculum, ensuring that every child is given the opportunity to develop their skills and make progress, whatever their age, background or individual needs. Children are taught phonics explicitly and systematically, with regular opportunities to practice, apply and consolidate their learning. 

Alongside phonics, we foster a love of reading through high-quality books and stories, helping children to develop their vocabulary, comprehension and confidence as readers. Our aim is for every child to become an enthusiastic, independent reader who enjoys discovering the world through books.

Our approach to early reading reflects our core school values: Be Safe, Be Kind, Be Positive.

• We create a safe and nurturing environment where children feel secure to take risks in their learning and build confidence step by step.
• We promote kindness by encouraging teamwork, patience, and support for one another as we learn together.
• We foster a positive attitude by celebrating effort, perseverance, and every small success along the journey to becoming a reader.

Our Reading Leader is Mrs Latham, she supports RWI delivery throughout the school, ,including assessing the children, coaching staff, modelling sessions and sharing resources.
