The 2002 Education Act requires schools to provide a broad and  balanced curriculum which promotes the spiritual, moral, cultural, mental and physical development of pupils, and prepares them for the opportunities, responsibilities and experiences of later life.

St Patrick’s Catholic Primary School is committed to meeting the requirements of the National Curriculum and the requirements of the Bishops of England and Wales as our pupils pass through each key stage. Our schemes of work reflect the content and challenge of the curriculum.

Phonics

Phonics is a way of teaching children to read and write by blending and segmenting individual sounds.  Written language is like a code.  Knowing and being able to use the sounds represented by letters and groups of letters will enable children to be able to unlock this code and to become confident readers and writers.
