To help keep all pupils safe, please ensure the school has up-to-date information about any allergies your child may have. Accurate allergy information enables us to put appropriate support plans in place, train staff effectively, and respond quickly in an emergency. We all have a part to play in creating a safe environment, including following our nut-aware policy and being mindful of the food brought into school. If your child has an allergy, please contact the school or update their details via Arbor.

Learning in English

English includes Spoken Language, Reading and Writing.  Speaking and listening skills are strongly encouraged as we want our children to develop a wide vocabulary.  Children need to be able to express themselves clearly and confidently as well as listening to the views of others. 

These skills are also important for reading and writing.  English is taught on a daily basis and often through topic work which helps the children to make links between different subjects.

The school uses All Aboard as the basis phonics teaching and a colour banded reading scheme which provides the children with the opportunity to read from a range of texts and a mixture of reading schemes.
