The specific areas of learning are:

  • literacy (reading and writing)
  • Mathematics (numbers, shape, space and measures)

“In the EYFS and the junior school, pupils’ reading ability and the development of language skills are supported well by the skilful teaching of phonics and many opportunities to speak, discuss and write”
