FOPD

Our English curriculum covers all aspects of the National Curriculum. We teach early reading in a systematic and focussed way, using Read Write Inc. Phonics as our central resource. We have also developed a programme called Phonics to Fluency to support our children in developing fluent reading with accuracy and prosody. We use Talk for Writing to engage children in, and teach, our wider English curriculum. Grammar, punctuation and spelling are taught within the contexts of these units or, where appropriate, are taught explicitly... We make use of additional resources to support our children's learning including Spelling Shed, SpellingFrame and Accelerated Reader which contribute effectively to our curriculum aims... At the heart of our English curriculum is Good Works - a scheme that we have developed to combine RE teaching with the national curriculum for English.
