Teaching and Learning in Reception:
The day consists of a combination of teacher led and child initiated learning following the EYFS profile.
We also use the following:
- Read Write Inc Phonics programme
- NCETM Mastering Number
- Topic focus - using a thematic approach to explore the world around us.
Teaching and Learning in Years 1 and 2
Following the National Curriculum, the subjects are taught through a cross curricular approach to enhance concept building and application.
Maths and English skills are taught discreetly with knowledge and skills then applied throughout other subjects as appropriate.
In all year group children's needs are met through a combination of:
- Whole class teaching
- Adult led focussed groups
- Small group work
- Intervention groups
- Individual led learning
