Loved showing our new EP around @STEP_Phoenix today and chatting about our journey. He was particularly interested in the controlled reading lessons he saw and the reasonable adjustments for children with SEND that enable children access to rich texts above their reading levels.

So proud of our children in Hailsham embracing their makaton lessons, either live in school or through the recorded sessions. So nice to see bubbles from the different academies linking up too! #unity #makaton @STEP_Phoenix @hawkesfarm @AcademyBurfield @STEP_WhiteHouse
Makaton lessons have been going really well at White House and we are really pleased to have heard from families who are enjoying learning some signs together at home. Our Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 group were excited to link up with one of the 'bubbles' at Phoenix Academy.

So excited so see our virtual makaton lessons, taught by our specialist SLCN TA @katiecherryman going live across the four @thesteptrust academies in Hailsham. A huge step forward to being communication friendly schools @STEP_Phoenix @AcademyBurfield @STEP_WhiteHouse @hawkesfarm

At White House we have begun to introduce Zones of Regulation.This is to help our students to identify and manage their emotions.This week we spoke about the Blue Zone.This is when we are 'feeling low'.#support
Reading is at the heart of our curriculum. From our linguistic approach to phonics to our carefully selected canon of poetry, picture books, novels and non-fiction, we understand the importance of supporting every child to be a fluent and avid reader!

Reading is at the heart of the @STEP_TSA PGCE programme which includes extensive phonics training from @c_mackechnie herself.
“The quality of education and training is inadequate if any one of the following applies: … Primary training does not ensure that trainees only learn to teach early reading using systematic synthetic phonics,” says draft @Ofstednews handbook tes.com/news/ofsted-fail-itt…
