Phonics Screening Check - Workshop for Parents April 2022

Parents and carers of pupils in Year 1 and identified children in Y2 were invited to attend a Phonic Screening Workshop. The aim of this workshop was to give parents information about the national Phonics Screening Check, which will take place across the country on W/C 6th June 2022, and to offer advice on how parents can best support their children at home. We offered to times 2.45pm to coordinate with school pick up and 5pm to make it more accessible for working parents. 

 We aimed to make the workshop purposeful and informative as well as being welcoming and informal. We were delighted  with how the workshop was received by our parents judging by our parental feedback forms.

"Really useful session. Clear explanations, lots of detail. I feel I have a much better understanding of the whole process now. Thank you for your time. :)"

"Brilliant. Made me feel at ease."

"Really well presented, easy to follow and helpful for parents to be able to understand the learning process."

Phonics Workshop - Autumn Term 2021

Every year we hold a phonic workshop for parents, carers and volunteers in school to attend. The intention of the workshop is to inform the adults supporting children in early reading and writing to understand the teaching of phonics. This is the principle way early reading and writing is taught. We understand phonics may seem mystifying and aim to help you understand it in order that you feel better equipped to help and support your child. If you are unable to attend the workshop or feel you would like more information please do not hesitate to contact someone in school. We are happy to help.

Thank you to all the parents who attended the workshop and for your positive feedback. We are pleased you found it useful.

The PowerPoint we used during our presentation is below, for your information.
