Phonics

Our pupils at Holy Trinity C of E Primary School learn to read using Read Write Inc Speed Sounds. The children are assessed regularly and grouped according to the phonetic stage in their learning. Phonics is part of the English curriculum, the policy for which can be found below. 

English and Phonics is led in school by Mrs C Knight and the linked Governor is Mrs Ditchburn-Hughes.

If you have any queries around the teaching of Phonics please feel free to contact Mrs Knight through the school office.
