Mrs Whitaker is our English leader in school. If there is anything that you would like to discuss about English at Denholme, please just ask. You can find links below to an overview of our English curriculum as well as reading and writing expectations by year groups.
At Denholme, we believe that all our children can become fluent readers and writers. This is why we teach reading through Little Wandle Letters and Sounds Revised, which is a systematic and synthetic phonics programme. We start teaching phonics in Nursery/Reception and follow the Little Wandle Letters and Sounds Revised progression, which ensures children build on their growing knowledge of the alphabetic code, mastering phonics to read and spell as they move through school.
