NON-NEGOTIABLES
Every year group has a set of non-negotiables. These are the minimum requirements in reading, writing and maths we expect children to know and understand by the end of that academic year. These are also shared with parents at the beginning of the year. Click on the links to read.

In Early Years and at Key Stage 1 phonics, writing and spelling are taught using a scheme called Read, Write Inc. published by Oxford University Press. If required, we also use the Rigby Star scheme for reading.
Spelling
Our spelling curriculum is designed to provide a broad and balanced education that meets the needs of all children. We follow the award-recognised Ready Steady
Spell by Literacy Counts to ensure that all pupils become fluent, accurate spellers. Our spelling curriculum is research-informed and impact-proven, helping
children secure the essential skills and strategies they need to spell confidently across the curriculum. Through engaging activities, consistent teaching routines
and regular opportunities to revisit prior learning, we help children move spelling knowledge into their long-term memory.
Our aim is to build confident writers who are equipped with the tools they need to communicate clearly and effectively. Spelling is taught in a clear and systematic
way, with regular reviews and assessments. Additional support is provided through Ready Steady Spell: Go sessions, which offer targeted intervention for pupils
who need further consolidation.
