At Unstone Schools Federation, our motto 'Learning today… Leading tomorrow’ drives our aim to foster a life-long love of learning, for all.

Our Curriculum aims to deliver an education that will equip each of our children with the skills required to be an independent, questioning and responsible citizens who will continue with effective life long learning. 

We’re clear about what children should know and be able to do at each stage. Knowledge, skills, and vocabulary are carefully sequenced in subject-specific progression documents that form the backbone of our curriculum.

We want to inspire and engage our pupils, providing exciting, purposeful and memorable teaching and learning opportunities throughout the schools. In addition to a range of activities in school we work hard to supplement the curriculum with purposeful educational visits and visitors. Every year we run educational visits, residential visits and memorable learning experiences to support all aspects of our curriculum.

If you would like further information on the curriculum we teach, please contact school directly.

Phonics

Here at Unstone Schools Federation, we use the Read Write Inc (RWI) Phonics Scheme a successful and nationally recognised systematic synthetic phonics programme.

Read Write Inc. (RWI) Phonics to help children become confident readers and writers. Through daily, engaging lessons, children learn letter sounds, how to blend sounds to read words, and how to use their phonics knowledge in writing.

Children read books carefully matched to their phonics ability, helping them build fluency, confidence, and a love of reading. Our aim is for every child to develop the skills they need to become successful, enthusiastic readers.

RWI - how you can support at home.
