New for 24-25 academic year: We are excited to be following The Literacy Tree for English. This is a comprehensive scheme that focuses on teaching through texts and engages children to write with purpose. The curriculum road maps for each class can be found in the files section.

Spelling: We follow the Twinkl spelling scheme, which covers all statutory spellings and patterns for each year group.
