We use FFT Success for All as our chosen phonics and reading scheme.

FFT’s Success for All Phonics is a proven systematic synthetic phonics teaching programme which meets all the requirements of the National Curriculum and the EYFS framework and has been validated by the DfE.

For many years there has been a lot of research conducted into the best ways to help children to read well as soon as possible. In winter 2020, the Department for Education decided it was important to have a new list of programmes they had checked that met a list of stringent criteria to be ‘validated’ systematic, synthetic phonics programmes, or SSP for short. Like other programmes, FFT Success for All Phonics was validated by the DfE and, after careful research, we selected this as our chosen programme as we feel it’s best for our children.
