We host several workshops for parents and carers throughout the year to share information on how we teach your child our curriculum, and how you can support their learning at home.

Details of upcoming events will be posted here.

Phonics Workshop for Year 1 Parents - Wednesday 8th October at 8:55am

With some exceptions, all children who have reached the age of 6 by the end of the school year must sit a national phonics check during that academic year. For most, this will be in year 1. 

The phonics screening check is a check of your child’s phonics knowledge. It helps school confirm whether your child is making the progress expected in the National Curriculum.

In 2026, the check will take place during the week commencing Monday 8th  June. 

The screen is administered by the child's class teacher within a comfortable, quiet and familiar environment. It contains 40 words, divided into two sections of 20 words. Both sections contain a mixture of real words and pseudo-words (words which are not real but that can be sounded out).

On Wednesday 8th October at 8:55am, Mrs Pilley will be running a short workshop in the school hall, with further information about what your child will be covering in phonics during Year1. There will be handouts available.
