English including phonics
English at Strathmore
At Strathmore, we believe that a quality English curriculum should develop children’s love of reading, writing and discussion. We have a rigorous and well organised English curriculum that is based on a clear system of progression and provides many purposeful opportunities for children to develop their skills and knowledge. Our curriculum closely follows the aims of the National Curriculum for English 2014.
To support our children with learning to read and write, we use Little Wandle as a scheme for phonics and ESSENTIALwriting as our English scheme. Both of these schemes have been chosen as they align to the aims of our curriculum and are best suited to support our pupils in developing the skills needed to be successful and a love of reading and writing.
