Our class teacher is Mr. Ashdown and he is supported by Miss Garman.
Phonics & Early Reading
Learning to read is one of the most crucial areas of learning that takes place in Reception.
We believe that for all our children to become fluent readers and writers, phonics must be taught through a systematic and structured phonics programme. We have adopted the Little Wandle Letters and Sounds Revised programme to plan and deliver daily engaging phonics lessons.

Learning
Children share their interests with us and this forms the basis of our curriculum. They learn through play and exploration, building on their own skills and we value every child's unique talents. Pupils spend time both in their enabling classroom environment and in the carefully designed and stimulating outdoor learning space that is for their exclusive use.
The curriculum is delivered in the form of Learning Journeys which map the key lines of enquiry and the foundation of knowledge and skills on which they build as the children move through the school.
