Reading At Montgomery

EYFS and Key Stage 1 Reading Scheme

At Montgomery Primary School we use The Oxford Reading Tree reading scheme as part of our strategy for teaching reading. You can find out more about the scheme here:


You can find more details on the reading provision we provide at KS1 in our KS1 Reading Progression Map.
Learning Phonics in EYFS and Key Stage 1

The children in EYFS and Key Stage 1 follow Letters and Sounds principles and practice for teaching and learning phonics.

Letter and Sounds is a phonics resource published by the Department for Education and Skills in 2007. It aims to build children's speaking and listening skills and prepare children for learning to read by developing their phonic knowledge and skills. 

Key Stage 2 Reading


At Key stage 2 pupils transfer on to the Accelerated Reader Programme.  Accelerated Reader is a computer programme that enables teachers to monitor pupil progress.  Your child will pick a book within their ZPD and then take a short quiz when they have completed the book.  We have a Teaching Assistant designated to monitoring reading, tracking pupil progress and providing intervention. 

 

You can find more details about the reading provision we provide at KS2 in our Lower KS2 Reading Progression Map and Upper KS2 Reading Provision Map

Writing at Montgomery

At Montgomery we use the ‘Talk4Writing’ approach to teach key writing skills.  ‘Talk4Writing’ enables children to read and write independently for a variety of audiences and purposes within different subjects. A key feature is that children internalise the language structures needed to write through 'talking the text', as well as close reading.


You can find further information on the language features taught at each Year Group using the through ‘Talk4Writing’ approach in our KS1 Writing Progression Map and KS2 Writing Progression Map.

Physical Education

At Montgomery, every child is given between 2 - 2.5 hours of timetabled curriculum time for PE every week, split into two separate lessons. The PE curriculum is planned and organised by our specialist department, including a qualified PE teacher and Sports Instructor. One lesson per week is delivered by the PE department, while the second lesson is delivered by class teachers with support of the specialists.


We strive to provide a broad and wide ranging curriculum for PE, including a breadth of different physical activities and opportunities to take part in many diverse activities, split into 5 areas:


  • Games Activities
  • Aesthetic Activities
  • Athletic Activities
  • Outdoor & Adventure Activities
  • Aquatic Activities

Spiritual, Moral, Social and Cultural Education – British Values and Montgomery Values

At Montgomery we have a core vision and purpose. We have created a set of ‘Montgomery Values’ that we feel ensures ‘British Values’ are at the heart of all we do, while at the same time expressing our own school’s ethos and culture.

We teach the below values alongside other areas of the curriculum, within a cross curricular approach. We also offer discrete teaching about the below values, including in assemblies, class work and small group approaches.

Additionally, the school offers a highly effective social emotional approach to education – THRIVE. We have a team of specialist practitioners who, alongside the class teacher, ensure that every child fulfills their potential. This approach ensures children are supported to develop secure and positive emotions across their school lives and beyond, preparing them for the next stage of education exceptionally well.

The below are the 5 ‘R’s forming the British Values

Respect for Yourself

We value and develop self-confidence, self-esteem, and self-knowledge in order to position our students to succeed.

Respect for the Law

Pupils should know right from wrong but understand and respect the limits of free speech and personal freedom.

Respect for your Society and Your World

Pupils should recognize the value of making a positive contribution to society and the greater world. This includes taking care of our environment.

Respect for Your Own and Other Cultures

Pupils should value “Britishness” as well as cross-cultural harmony, acceptance and understanding.

Respect for Democracy

Pupils should value the liberty, freedom and choice afforded by our form of government.
