Headteacher: Louise Willard
The teaching of reading at Elm Grove is centred on the objectives for reading in the Statutory Framework for Early Years Foundation Stage and the 2014 National Curriculum: Key Stage 1 and 2. We use a variety of publishing houses to ensure a range of experiences for the children in fiction, non-fiction and poetry. In Reception, Key Stage 1 and Lower Key Stage 2 (Years 3 and 4), guided reading books are categorised using the Book Bands for Guided Reading system.
In Reception and Key Stage 1 we take a structured approach, following the government’s Letters and Sounds programme. This is augmented using the PhonicsPlay interactive games scheme.
We would like all of our parents/carers to read and sign our Home School Partnership.
PSHE
The importance of PSHE education in for example preventing bullying, prejudice, and in contributing to positive physical, emotional and mental health and healthy relationships is increasingly recognised at Elm Grove Primary School. Therefore, at Elm Grove Primary School PSHE education is an important part of our curriculum as it enables our pupils to build healthy friendships and keep themselves safe now and in the future. We believe that effective PSHE education supports the teaching of behaviour for learning, and that it contributes to the wellbeing, safety and achievement of all pupils in this school.
