Curriculum Intent Statement

Key Stage One

Phonics:

We follow the systematic synthetic phonics programme of “Supersonic Phonic Friends” which is fully validated by the DFE.

The approach ranges from the simple to the complex spellings of the alphabetic code and is already proving to be an engaging and success with the children. Supported by the Supersonic Phonic Friends characters, the approach ensures children develop confidence to apply their skills to their own reading and writing throughout the curriculum.

The approach is consistently aligned with fully decodable Big Cat Collins home reading books and children are able to practice newly taught skills at home on a daily basis through this and tailored home learning activities. Parents are informed via weekly newsletters.

From Year 2, we continue to explore grapheme phoneme correspondence through KS2 building on the firm foundations of the programme, offering tailored interventions and ensuring absolute consistency.

The multi-sensory, visual and kinesthetic approach means the children are actively engaged in phonics learning in every session. Phonics is fun!
