Phonics
As of September 2025 we are launching our brand new phonics scheme, Little Wandle. It is one of the fastest growing schemes in the UK and provides excellent resources to support all children from the very early stages to 'keep up, not catch-up' in their reading journey.
Little Wandle provides support for pupils from Nursery with its Foundations for Phonics programme, to the Reception and Year 1 Core Phonics programme. After this, Year 2 children are supported through the Support for Spelling programme. All pupils in school have access to the Rapid Catch-Up programme and SEND pathways if they are in need of something different or a little extra.
Alongside the phonics scheme sits the reading programme, which will see all children from Nursery to Year 2 reading in a group 3x/wk working through a targeted group of books designed to match their phonics level to build their confidence in reading. Children will be able to bring these books home and share them with an adult. This replaces the traditional scheme books that we have used previously.
