Beaufort Primary School

Phonics

At Beaufort Primary School, we believe every child can become a fluent, confident reader and writer. This is why we teach phonics through Essential Letters and Sounds (ELS), a systematic, synthetic phonics programme. We begin teaching phonics in Nursery, building early listening and sound awareness, and then follow the ELS progression through Reception and Year 1. This ensures children build steadily on their knowledge of the alphabetic code, mastering phonics to read and spell as they move through school.

As a result, children learn to decode unfamiliar words with increasing accuracy and confidence. Across the curriculum, staff model how to apply phonics in both reading and writing, demonstrating how children can use their knowledge of sounds and graphemes in different contexts. We also place a strong emphasis on language development, as speaking and listening underpin success in reading and writing.

At Beaufort, we value reading as a crucial life skill. By the time children leave us, they read both for meaning and for pleasure, equipped with the tools to tackle new vocabulary and access a rich variety of texts. We encourage children to see themselves as readers for life, confident in both purpose and enjoyment.

We teach phonics daily for 30 minutes in Reception and Year 1. In Reception, lesson length builds gradually as children develop confidence, with additional daily blending practice to strengthen early skills. Each week includes a review session to consolidate learning and support fluency.

Any child needing additional help receive Keep-up sessions, taught by a trained adult. These sessions mirror the structure of class teaching—review, teach, apply, review—but move in smaller steps with increased repetition, ensuring every child keeps up rather than catches up.

Children read ELS decodable books that are closely matched to their secure phonic knowledge, allowing them to feel confident and successful.

Reading

At Beaufort, we believe that reading is the foundation of all learning. Our aim is for every child to become a fluent, confident and enthusiastic reader who can understand, enjoy and discuss a wide range of texts. We are committed to developing a genuine love of reading so that children leave us able to read both for pleasure and for purpose.

Early reading begins in Nursery, where children are introduced to sounds, stories and early language skills. In Reception and Year 1, we teach daily phonics through Essential Letters and Sounds (ELS). Children learn to blend, segment and apply the alphabetic code, reading books that are carefully matched to their secure phonic knowledge.

From Year 2 to Year 6, children follow our Accelerated Reader (AR) programme. Every child reads books matched to their reading level, completes AR quizzes to check understanding and takes half-termly assessments to monitor progress. This ensures children are reading texts that challenge them, build fluency and strengthen comprehension.

We promote a balance between decodable books, AR reading books, library books and high-quality class texts in Reading lessons to ensure children experience a breadth of literature, including fiction, non-fiction and poetry.

Across the school, we place a strong emphasis on reading as a core subject, with regular, carefully planned reading sessions in addition to daily English lessons. We use the VIPERS approach to explore a wide range of texts and to explicitly teach the six key skills needed for reading comprehension: Vocabulary, Inference, Predict, Explain, Retrieve, Sequence/Summarise.

We teach reading through a mastery-based, whole-class approach, ensuring that every child has access to high-quality texts and rich discussion. Our teaching is designed to bring together the two essential strands of reading (word recognition and language comprehension) so that children learn to apply these skills in harmony.

During reading lessons, all children take part in book talk, modelled reading, echo reading and shared reading, alongside purposeful activities linked to each of the VIPERS skills. This approach ensures that every pupil is supported and challenged, helping them to grow as confident, thoughtful and enthusiastic readers.

We nurture a school culture where reading is valued and celebrated:

• Every class visits the School Library weekly.

• Teachers read aloud to their class every day, modelling fluency, expression and enjoyment.

• Children take home reading diaries, which are expected to be signed three times a week.

• We celebrate reading through our Reading Stars scheme, weekly Star Readers in our BRAVE assemblies and reading displays.

• Half-termly prize draws to win a book of their choice.

• Author and illustrator visits

Writing

At Beaufort, we aim to develop fluent, creative and confident writers who can write clearly, accurately and for a wide range of purposes. Writing is taught daily, and our planning follows the 2014 English National Curriculum, mapped out for each year group through long-term plans (see LTPs on the Curriculum page). National Curriculum knowledge and skills are carefully woven into every writing sequence.

Teachers follow a clear Beaufort Writing Process to ensure consistency and progression across the school. Each writing sequence begins with oracy, drama and immersion activities that help children explore ideas, deepen understanding and build confidence before writing. Children then unpick key vocabulary, examine genre features and delve into discrete grammar teaching that is directly linked to the text type.

Drawing on research-based strategies, teachers guide children through a structured process of planning, drafting, editing and improving. This systematic approach helps pupils learn how to craft writing step by step and make meaningful improvements to their work.

Once skills have been taught and practised, children apply them independently in their final piece of ‘Golden Writing’, which showcases what they can do without support.

Across the year, teachers ensure broad coverage of writing skills, spelling and grammar practise revisiting them through a range of genres and text types .

Our writing units are inspired by high-quality texts, many of which link to the children’s half-termly topics. These carefully chosen texts provide rich models of language, support vocabulary development and offer meaningful contexts that spark imagination and purpose in writing.

Progression_Grammar_and_Punctuation

Learning to spell is a key part of becoming a confident reader and writer. We want all pupils to develop a wide vocabulary, a strong understanding of grammar, and the ability to spell new words by applying the patterns and rules they learn throughout their time in primary school. These skills support their success in reading, writing and spoken language. At Beaufort, we follow the Spelling Shed scheme, which supports children in understanding the relationship between sounds (phonemes) and written symbols (graphemes), as well as using morphology (the study of word structure and meaning) to spell accurately.

We teach new spelling patterns each week and each set of lessons includes opportunities for spaced retrieval to help children remember and apply their learning. Children engage in practical activities such as sound sorting, sound buttons, discussions, investigations and outdoor learning make spelling engaging and meaningful.

We also encourage children to use their ‘spelling voice’ when practising—breaking words into syllables, exaggerating trickier parts, and saying sounds clearly. This helps them internalise spelling patterns more accurately.

Each half term, we will send home the list of weekly spellings with a corresponding phoneme or pattern. We encourage parents to support regular practice at home alongside Spelling Shed online assignments.

Physical Education

At Beaufort, our PE curriculum is designed to be accessible, ambitious and challenging for all pupils, including those who are disadvantaged or have SEND or additional physical needs. We follow the Primary PE Planning (PPP) scheme and work closely with the Derby County Community Trust (DCCT) to ensure high-quality provision for every child.

PE at Beaufort is for everyone. Our curriculum reduces inequalities and gives all pupils the knowledge and skills they need to participate confidently in physical activity. We develop competence through the three pillars of progression:

• Motor competence

• Rules, strategies and tactics

• Healthy participation

Children build both declarative knowledge (knowing what) and procedural knowledge (knowing how), enabling them to understand physical activity and apply skills effectively.

We recognise the strong link between physical activity and wellbeing, and we nurture a love of movement by offering a wide range of sporting opportunities so that every child can find something they enjoy. We place particular value on swimming and water safety, aiming for all children to confidently swim 25 metres by Year 6.

Rules, strategies and tactics are taught explicitly and applied in different contexts, including inter-school competitions and DCCT-led events, helping children develop teamwork, resilience and confidence.

Our curriculum begins in EYFS with fundamental movement skills—locomotor, object control and stability—which form the foundation for more complex movements as children progress. This ensures pupils develop the motor competence they need for everyday life and sustained participation in sport.

We believe in the value of competitive sport and provide a broad range of opportunities so all children can take part and strive for excellence. Each year of our curriculum is carefully sequenced and progressive, allowing pupils to build on their knowledge and skills across all areas of sport.

Religious Education

At Beaufort, we believe that Religious Education has a significant role to play in the development and understanding of pupils’ spiritual, moral, social and cultural appreciation. The values that are embraced, help prepare our children with the right skills and attitudes so they can flourish in the wider community and become positive citizens in a diverse society.

Our children are encouraged to appreciate different religions, beliefs and viewpoints whilst developing their own views through a positive learning environment. We aim to help broaden their perspectives of faiths and cultures, encouraging tolerance of diversity whilst nurturing their own sense of belonging through self-awareness and reflection

Religious Education at Beaufort is planned in accordance with the Agreed Syllabus 2025-2030 for Derby City. Weekly units are planned to incorporate the agreed syllabus, enabling children to build knowledge over time.

Our curriculum covers: Christianity, Islam, Judaism and Hinduism in a two-year rolling cycle of learning which teaches the skills of RE progressively across the year groups. Key concepts are revisited through this progressive approach and our revisit section of every lesson provides even more opportunities to embed core knowledge from prior learning. In addition to our weekly Derby City Syllabus lessons, we also enhance our RE provision by using specific Kapow units of work to deepen children’s understanding of faiths already taught and to also celebrate other religious and non-religious faiths.

Through the teaching of RE, we seek to ensure that all children develop their own spirituality, whilst fostering an appreciation and greater understanding of other faith traditions. Regular assemblies and celebrations of religious and non-religious festivals and events, implemented alongside weekly RE lessons, help to celebrate the diversity of the wider community in Derby.
