Phonics at Redbridge Primary School

At Redbridge Primary School, we follow the newly accredited Essential Letters and Sounds to ensure consistent high quality phonics.

The five phases of the Essential Letters and Sounds document provides a structure for the teachers to follow and plan children’s progression. The teachers carefully adapt their planning to meet the needs of the children within their class. The teacher’s individual assessments will inform the rate at which the children are able to progress through the phrases and adapt their pace accordingly, offering “closing the gap” interventions immediately if required.
