Phonics
We use the Read Write Inc Scheme to teach phonics in Reception and Key Stage One.
Maths Calculations
For Maths we follow the school's calculation policy, which can be found in video form on our YouTube channel here.
Religious Education
For RE we follow the Oxfordshire Agreed Syllabus for Religious Education 2015-2020. To help us plan and implement this syllabus, and to ensure coverage and progression, the school is using the RE scheme of work published by the Oxford Diocesan Board of Education. For the key stage one plan click here, and for the key stage two plan click here.
PSHE and Relationships and Health Education
For Personal, Social and Health Education, we use the PSHE Association plans and resources. Click here to see more information about what these plans cover. These plans link directly to the expectations within the Relationships and Health Education from the Department for Education, click here for more information.
Within the PSHE curriculum, learning covers changing adolescent bodies. We will always inform parents before units of work that may lead to questions and discussions at home, and these are highlighted on the long term PSHE plan, click here. In Year 6 parents will be provided with information in advance about any sex education (human reproduction and birth), and given the choice to withdraw their child from these sessions.
For ideas for resources to use at home with your child regarding changing bodies, click here.
