Phonics

Chepping View now uses the 'Essential Letters and Sounds' Phonics scheme (as of Sept 2022). We will be adding more information about ELS to this page in due course.

Below are some support videos for the general teaching of phonics which will still be useful to parents trying to understand how phonics works.
