Reading activities continue to take place daily and some children may continue to access phonics lessons to ensure they develop into fluent, confident readers.
​
Daily Maths sessions are taught in Phase 3, continuing to follow the the White Rose Maths sequence and using a range of resources including NCETM and practical manipulatives. In Year 4, children take part in the national multiplication tables check.
​
The teachers in Phase 3 take part in termly Cohort Keep-Up meetings that allow the Phase Leader to support teachers in delivering the right provision for each child to make an appropriate level of progress as they move through the Phase.
​
Transition to secondary school begins in Phase 3, during which children take part in a range of activities in partnership with The Park Community School. As children come to the end of their time in primary school, they prepare for Year 6 national curriculum tests and take part in more regular activities to support the transition into Year 7.
