The phonics scheme used by Holly House School is:

 'Little Wandle'

from Letters and Sounds 

 As of July 2021 Little Wandle Letters and Sounds Revised is a phonics programme validated by the Department for Education

Information from the Phonics program: 

Little Wandle Letters and Sounds Revised has been developed by Little Sutton and Wandle English Hubs and taken forward by Little Sutton Primary School and Wandle Learning Trust in partnership with other phonics and early reading experts. 

Little Wandle Letters and Sounds Revised has been built around the update (Department for Education – Letters and Sounds improving rates of progress 2021) that we were funded to produce by the Department for Education, as well as drawing on the latest research into how children learn best, how to ensure learning stays in children’s long term memory and how best to enable children to apply their learning to become highly competent readers.
