Reading for joy
Phonics every morning and a quiet reading hour each afternoon, with books children pick themselves.
Our days are built around strong basics and plenty of room to wonder. Here is the full picture, grouped by stage, so you can see how reading, number, science, and the arts grow with your child from age 5 to 11.
Gentle routines, lots of talk, and the joy of first reading and first sums.
Phonics every morning and a quiet reading hour each afternoon, with books children pick themselves.
Counting games, money trays, and shape hunts. Children meet number through their hands before the page.
Circle time, show and tell, and shared books that build confident speaking and careful listening.
Painting, singing, and simple instruments. A welcoming start where mess is fine and ideas are loud.
Basics get stronger and the world gets wider through projects and proper experiments.
From neat sentences to short stories and reports. Children learn to plan, draft, and read their work aloud.
Hands on number work with counters, money, and puzzles, so the why always comes before the how.
Weekly experiments, weather charts, and a windowsill full of growing things to watch and record.
Maps, local walks, and small history projects that connect children to where they live and who came before.
Independent thinkers ready for the next school, with curiosity firmly intact.
Longer books, book clubs, and a library hour where children compare ideas and back up an opinion.
Fractions, data, and real puzzles. Children explain their thinking and try more than one way in.
A dedicated room for drawing, building, and design, where bigger projects can take real shape over weeks.
A green play yard and daily outdoor breaks to run, climb, and breathe between lessons.
The best way to understand our curriculum is to watch it happen. Get in touch and we will find a morning that suits you.
