Each curriculum area has a designated subject leader, to oversee its organisation. Long, and medium planning systems follow the common framework adopted for curriculum planning and delivery throughout the school.  There are common principles throughout the school but as an all-age school, there are naturally some variations between the organisational needs of the primary and secondary phases of the school.

The following link provides an overview of the content delivered in each academic year for every subject taught in the Primary and Secondary stages of the school.

KS1 and 2 Phonics 

Bower Grove School adopts a systematic approach to teaching phonics, using the Department for Education (DfE) endorsed programme ‘Letters and Sounds’. This is organised into six progressive phases, in which pupils learn how to develop their phonological awareness. The objective of this inclusive programme is for our pupils to develop increasing fluency and understanding in their reading. For further information, please visit the websites below:

The reading scheme that the school follows is the Bug Club Reading Programme which is supplemented with the Dandelion Reading Scheme.
