English

English at Oakview complies with the expectations of the National Curriculum 2014. Phonics is delivered via the Little Wandle programme from Reception to Year 2. English lessons are taught using a range of high quality engaging texts as stimuli for writing. There is a strong emphasis on developing spoken language skills throughout the school. 

Literacy Tree - Our Writing Framework

Literacy Tree is a whole-school, book-based writing framework with high-quality and diverse literature at the core.  Children will write for a range of audiences and purposes, leading to a main writing outcome at the end of the 2-3 week unit.  

Phonics

Little Wandle

We have adopted Little Wandle Letters and Sounds, a complete systematic phonics programme that has been validated by the DfE. Our main priority continues to be that children develop a love of reading and that all children leave Oakview Primary School literate.
