Subjects - Jubilee L.E.A.D. Academy

At Jubilee L.E.A.D. Academy, we ensure every subject of the curriculum is held in high esteem so pupils are able to experience the full benefits of the National Curriculum and grow their knowledge and skills in preparation for their next phase of education and later life. Leaders have taken considerable time to shape the curriculum, making purposeful decisions to ensure it is of the highest quality and meets the specific needs of our pupils.

Phonics

We use Read Write Inc. Phonics (RWI) as we feel it gives children the best possible start.

Principles of phonics teaching at Jubilee L.E.A.D. Academy:

Phonics teaching is consistent throughout the school
Children are taught it small ability groups to ensure maximum progress.
Children are assessed regularly to ensure good level of progress is made
Teaching colleagues across the school are skilled and receive CPD for the teaching of phonics
Children are encouraged to keep up not catch up, children that are not keeping up are quickly identified, and intensive support is put into place.
Children are encouraged to develop a love of books by reading for themselves, and listening to teachers read daily
Children have access to a wide range of books that they can read at school or take home to read.

Our phonics provision forms an integral part of our reading strategy which is shaped by the EEF’s ‘Reading House’.

Writing

Our strategy for writing combines the development of letter formation, spelling and grammatical devices with a wide range of genres built on high-quality texts which drive our curriculum.

Mathematics

Our approach to mathematics follows ‘Power Maths’ which is enhanced through the use of strengthening and deepening opportunities so pupils are able to master key skills and apply them to a range of problems they could face as they grow older.
