PHONICS

Welcome to the Phonics section of our website. Here you will be able to find out how we teach Phonics in school and how you can support your child at home. 

Phonics in school is taught using the Government Department of Education approved scheme: Little Wandle Phonics. We started this scheme in November 2025, following working with the Yorkshire English Hub.
