At Staynor Hall Community Primary Academy, our curriculum will give each and every child the opportunity to build a life-long love for learning. We offer an exciting thematic curriculum that utilises the local area whilst developing an understanding and appreciation of the wider world. Our aim is to provide the knowledge and skills that pupils need in order to take advantage of opportunities, responsibilities, and experiences later in life to prepare them to become citizens in an ever-changing society.
Our aim is for all our children to be respectful, lifelong learners, who can make a meaningful contribution to their community by the time they leave us in Year 6, ready for their next steps in their life journey. We want our children to go on to live a life of choice and opportunity.
Every child will experience development and growth through exploration, creativity and discovery. Each individual learner is encouraged and supported to live our core values so they can develop determination, collaboration, honesty and their self-belief.
Our children are taught phonics and reading through the application of Little Wandle Letters and Sounds Revised. This is a systematic, synthetic phonics programme that was validated by the Department for Education in July 2021. All teachers and teaching assistants have completed training modules provided by Little Wandle to ensure a whole school understanding of the approach. As a result, the programme is followed with consistency across the school with our Reading Lead Mrs. Hunter, supporting staff across the school with the implementation of the programme.
Phonics is the learning of individual sounds and then applying this to blending sounds to read words. Through daily lessons and repeated practice, a child’s phonic knowledge and skills become more automatic, leading them to become, over time, fluency and competent readers.
Collins Big Cat for Little Wandle Letters and Sounds Revised have devised fully decodable books matched to the Little Wandle programme progression.
In conjunction with daily lessons, children must-read books that are consistent with their phonic knowledge. These books are carefully and precisely matched to the child’s secure phonic level to ensure a reading fluency level of 90%. This automaticity allows the child to then focus on what they are reading, reading to increase memory and understanding of what they have read. These books are read in school on a regular basis and are also shared at home with parents and carers.
Each child is able to practise a decodable book at home. Suggestions are shared with parents and carers on how they can best and most effectively support their child’s reading at home. Alongside this, we encourage parents and carers to read to their child, even as they grow older, to encourage a love of books as well as developing vocabulary and discussion.
Parents and carers are also encouraged to complete the Home Reading Diary with positive comments about their child’s reading at home.
We know that some children may need extra support with their reading. These children are prioritised for sessions with reading volunteers or teaching assistants on a regular basis.
On the Little Wandle website, there are some excellent resources for parents and carers in the “For Parents” section.
By following this link, you will be able to see the full progression grid from Reception to the end of Year 1. You will see which sounds and words your child will be learning at which point of their phonics and reading journey.
In this link, you will find videos of how to correctly pronounce the sounds that each letter makes, the correct formation of each letter, and how to write capital letters.

We recognise the importance of teaching Religious Education (RE) in a creative, knowledge-rich, broad and balanced way. Learning activities provide fully for the needs of all pupils, so that they develop a wide range of skills including enquiry, analysis, interpretation, evaluation and reflection. They provide opportunities to engage in meaningful and informed dialogue with those of all religions and world views.
RE lessons provide a safe space to explore religious, spiritual and/or philosophical ways of seeing, living and thinking, believing and belonging.
We would hope that all children will enjoy participating fully in RE. We aim to provide an open curriculum which can be taught to all pupils, by all staff. However, parents have a right to withdraw their children from RE. If you wish to do this, please contact the school to discuss in more detail.
