--- title: "Phonics" url: "https://www.tgschool.co.uk/class-pages/class-2/phonics" school: "Temple Grafton C of E Primary School" --- # Phonics At Temple Grafton we teach use the phonics method to teach our children to read by linking the sounds (phonemes) to the symbols that represent them (graphemes or letter groups). Little Wandle Letters and Sounds Revised is a complete systematic synthetic phonics programme (SSP) developed for schools by schools. Based on the original Letters and Sounds, but extensively revised to provide a complete teaching programme meeting all the expectations of the National Curriculum, the Ofsted Deep Dive into reading and preparing your children to go beyond the expectations of the Phonics Screening Check. It provides children with the best chance of success in reading. Through small, focussed sessions matched to each child’s phonological understanding, children learn to convert graphemes (written letters) into phonemes (sounds), and so are welcomed to the joy and enrichment that reading provides. | Y1 Phonics Screening | Year 1 Phonics Screen | 2016.17 | 2017.18 | 2018.19 | 2019.20 | 2020.21 | 2021.22 | |---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---| | Children working at the expected standard | Temple Grafton | 100% | 100% | 73% | N/A | 87% | 100% | | National Average | 81% | 81% | 83% | N/A | 82% | 75% | N.B. 2019.20 – Covid exemptions ### Class Pages - [Class Pages](https://www.tgschool.co.uk/class-pages) - [Class 1](https://www.tgschool.co.uk/class-pages/class-1) - [Class 2](https://www.tgschool.co.uk/class-pages/class-2) - [Class Information](https://www.tgschool.co.uk/class-pages/class-2/class-information) - [Learning Overviews](https://www.tgschool.co.uk/class-pages/class-2/learning-overviews) - [Home Learning](https://www.tgschool.co.uk/class-pages/class-2/home-learning) - [KS1 SATs](https://www.tgschool.co.uk/class-pages/class-2/ks1-sats) - [Phonics](https://www.tgschool.co.uk/class-pages/class-2/phonics) - [Class Two Learning Together](https://www.tgschool.co.uk/class-pages/class-2/class-two-learning-together) - [Gallery](https://www.tgschool.co.uk/class-pages/class-2/gallery) - [Class 3](https://www.tgschool.co.uk/class-pages/class-3) - [Class 4](https://www.tgschool.co.uk/class-pages/class-4) - [Gallery](https://www.tgschool.co.uk/class-pages/gallery) ### Temple Grafton C of E Primary School Church Bank Alcester Warwickshire B49 6NU 01789 772384 ### Useful Links - [Admissions](https://www.tgschool.co.uk/school-information/admissions) - [Vacancies](https://www.tgschool.co.uk/school-information/job-vacancies) - [Calendar](https://www.tgschool.co.uk/calendar) - [Term Dates](https://www.tgschool.co.uk/parents/term-dates) ### Helpful Links - [Forest School](https://www.tgschool.co.uk/school-information/forest-school) - [Curriculum](https://www.tgschool.co.uk/parents/curriculum) - [Newsletters](https://www.tgschool.co.uk/parents/newsletters) - [Contact Us](https://www.tgschool.co.uk/contact) ### Social Media - [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/templegraftonprimary) © Copyright 2026 Temple Grafton C of E Primary School School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://www.tgschool.co.uk/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
