We teach early reading through the Read Write Inc. phonics programme, a structured approach that helps children learn sounds, blend them into words, and build strong reading foundations. Children learn in small, well‑matched groups with daily sessions that follow a consistent routine, whilst regular assessments ensure steady progress with extra support provided when needed.

The school focuses on nurturing a genuine love of reading, encouraging children to enjoy stories, explore new vocabulary, and see themselves as confident readers.

Fred the Frog, a favourite character in phonics lessons, adds fun and imagination by speaking only in sounds for children to blend, making learning engaging, playful, and memorable.
