Curriculum
At Ark Rose Primary Academy we believe in preparing our children for the future. Our first priority is to build a secure foundation in literacy and numeracy as the basis for all other learning. Pupils are taught to read, write and work with numbers fluently and confidently. Where pupils need extra support it is provided to ensure that every child reaches and exceeds nationally expected standards.
Our English teaching focuses on speaking and listening, reading and writing using synthetic phonics and other reading strategies. We use the Read Write Inc. reading programme which is based on “synthetic phonics” that is, children learn what combinations of letters make all the different sounds in English and to blend these to make words and how to decode words when they see these combinations.
In Maths, we use Mathematics Mastery. Mathematics Mastery focuses on identifying characteristics of effective practice in building pupils’ secure knowledge, skills and understanding of number so that they demonstrate fluency in calculating, solving problems and reasoning about number. Units are focused around Fairy Tales and Occupations so this enthuses the children and has helped to raise attainment.
