Ash Class 
Learning is developed through well-planned play. This takes place both within the classroom and in a self-contained outdoor area, to which access is available at all times.
All children are encouraged to progress at their own pace through the Early Years Curriculum with the support and guidance of the class teacher and early years practitioners.
Our pre-school children are welcome to wear school jumpers, polos or t-shirts.

Phonics
Across Key Stage 1, children learn phonics daily. We follow the 'Little Wandle Letters and Sounds’ programme of work to teach them basic sounds as a platform for reading. Lesson resources help support children with their recognition of sounds, formation of letters and groups of sounds.

Reception
As the children become more confident, they move into phonics groups according to their individual needs. Children are assessed regularly to ensure maximum progress. Through daily phonics lessons, children are taught Phase 2 and Phase 3 sounds and how to segment and blend.
Children are also introduced to 'tricky' words during phonics sessions, these are words which cannot yet be sounded out but are regularly used.
