2. Working together in harmony to develop confident, well-educated learners with healthy minds and bodies, who are independent, resilient, motivated and committed to lifelong learning

3. Creating harmony through: RESPECT – Respecting diversity, showing tolerance and valuing individuals. RESPONSIBILITY – Being accountable for and reflecting on one’s actions and decisions. INTEGRITY – Being honest, trustworthy and courageous to do the right thing. COMPASSION – Caring through our actions and words, tempered with fairness and justice for all. HUMILITY – The courage to admit when one is wrong, admit when one does not know the answer, and recognise when one’s ideas are not always the best. Schools are required to demonstrate how we tackle extremism and promote community cohesion. Our values are shared concepts amongst all religions, showing our children that although we are all different, we all share principles. We actively show children that all beliefs and cultures have equal value. Each year we visit different places of worship (including our Year 3 Christmas assembly in St Andrew’s church) and encourage all children to attend. We invite visitors from different faith groups to speak to the children about their beliefs. International evening. The countries project. RE & Collective Worship lessons. National & European Union Flags. We are a multi-faith school and love to learn and understand each others ideas and beliefs. We need your support in ensuring our children grow up learning to show respect to the beliefs of others.

By the end of Reception, children should be able to write one grapheme for each of the 44 phonemes. Handout on Friday. In Year 1, they will start to explore vowel digraphs and trigraphs (a group of three letters that makes a single sound, like 'igh' as in ‘fight') further. They will begin to understand, for example, that the letters ‘ea’ can make different sounds in different words (dream and bread). They will also learn that one sound might be represented by different groups of letters: e.g., light and pie (igh and ie make the same sound).
