Dear Parents and Carers,
For over four years, Newdale Primary School has successfully embedded the Read Write Inc. phonics programme across the school. We are delighted to share that, this year, Newdale has been selected to become a Read Write Inc. filming school.
As many of you will be aware, your children receive QR codes which enable them to access additional phonics videos at home. These videos are provided by Read Write Inc. through an online platform and are designed to support children’s learning at home. There are also videos on this platform that are used for professional development for all staff to ensure that phonics provision remains consistent and of a high quality.
Throughout this academic year, selected children will have the opportunity to participate in the filming of phonics videos. These videos will form part of the Read Write Inc. online platform and may be used to support children and teachers in schools across the country.
We are particularly proud that Newdale has been recognised by the Ruth Miskin Read Write Inc. team for the high quality of our phonics teaching and provision. Being selected as a filming school is a wonderful achievement and reflects the commitment of our staff and pupils to developing strong phonics knowledge and reading skills.
The children will be bringing home a parental consent form, which provides further information about the filming project and the activities in which children may be invited to participate.
We kindly ask that you read the information carefully, complete the consent form and return it to school by Monday 14 September 2026.
Thank you for your continued support in helping us to develop our children’s reading and phonics skills.
Yours sincerely,
Newdale Team
