Our Phonics Intent
We aim to deliver a high-quality Phonics programme that gives children the best possible opportunities to become confident, literate and successful learners. We believe the development of Literacy skills is central to improving a child's life chances. Teachers have high expectations for all children to achieve and enjoy Phonics and to be able to use the skills they have acquired in a range of contexts. We strive to ensure all children can communicate clearly in spoken and written form and become masters of language. Rich texts are at the heart of our teaching and a love for reading is promoted throughout the school. Coverage is carefully monitored to ensure all staff are delivering the quality Phonics programme in line with our vision statement.
All pupils in our school, irrespective of ability and background will have appropriate differentiated access to Phonics. A variety of teaching and learning strategies will be used and adapted appropriately to the needs and learning styles of pupils.
Our pupils learn to read and write effectively and quickly using the Read Write Inc. Phonics programme.
