Literacy Learning and Development.

In 2014 and 2015, the school was involved in the Ministry of Education's ALL (Accelerated Literacy Learning) Project. Mrs Neal and Mr Gray attended the development days and a 15 week intervention was planned with a target group of children. With release time to work with the group and planning time to develop the intervention, Mrs Neal set about accelerating the groups progress in Reading. Such was the success of what she saw happening that the work was undertaken with her whole class of Year 4 pupils, and the accelerated progress of the all the children, that the Board of Trustees and Staff knew the intervention needed to be taken to other classes. This year, as a Year 2 ALL School, the staff will be running intervention groups within their class as well as in-depth Literacy programmes that raise the bar for teaching pedagogy and pupil learning alike.

This page will house resources that we have discussed with parents and caregivers as part of Literacy Parent Meetings and will aid parents and pupils as they support each other through much of the learning that is part of the classroom teaching and learning.
