Please contact the school for more details about the curriculum.

Learning to read and write

Your child will receive daily phonics session following the Little Wandle Letters and Sounds Revised Scheme.  This is a consistent and highly effective approach to teaching phonics with classroom resources and a diverse range of decodable phonics books.

The scheme was developed in collaboration with two English Hubs, Wandle Learning Trust and Little Sutton Primary School and is DfE validated and used in more than 4000 schools!

All books are matched perfectly to the Little Wandle progression and support all the Letters and Sounds phases.

Your child will discover an exciting mix of stories and non-fiction, with blending practice and stretch and challenge books.

There are practical, hands-on resources to support the phonics teaching, including grapheme cards, charts and mats, wall friezes, word cards and tricky word cards. Plus, there are also resources for Rapid catch-up and SEND support.

The school offers teacher led phonics and reading and writing workshops for parents to ensure continuity between home and school learning.  The most recent workshops were very well attended.

Easter Garden

EYFS have been learning all about the Easter Story in our RE lessons.  We created our very own Easter Garden using items that we found around the school grounds.

Eggciting news!

Class 1 have been lucky enough to hatch our own chicks with help from the Living Eggs company.  All equipment and supplies were provided, along with detailed care instructions and aftercare package.  We also received information posters and charts to support the children’s learning.  The children and staff have found the process fascinating.  What a wonderful eggs-perience that they will never forget!
