  3. Transition from EYFS to Year One Transitions are not over looked or left to chance; good transition takes careful thought and thorough planning well in advance. The transition into KS1 is carefully managed, and staff in the Foundation Stage and Year 1 are already working closely together to ensure it happens as smoothly as possible. Mrs Zino and Mrs Cartwright will continue to oversee transition well into next year – for as long as necessary – and manage any issues that may arise.

  10. Phonics Screening Check • In Year 1, the children are required to take the Phonics Screening Check in June. • This checks the children’s ability to blend the sounds we have covered in real and unknown (alien) words. • During the check each child will sit with a teacher and read aloud the 40 words contained in the check. • We hold a parents workshop in the run up to this Check in the Spring Term • We will share the results from the check on your child’s report at the end of the summer term.

  11. Partnership with Parents • Inviting parents in to school to discuss the progress of their children twice a year on a formal basis • Half termly topic webs to inform parents of curriculum coverage • Clear year group expectations can be found on the schools website and in the home/school diaries. • Reports are sent home termly to track progress against the year group standards. • An open door policy is available all year round, please come in and talk to us.
