St William of York is committed to ensuring that children are excited about their learning. We aim to make purposeful links bewteen subjects and use good quality texts as a stimumus for writing, and discovery about our world. We want children to experience wonder and awe, and to recognise their own gifts. We expect children to work hard, and to have high expectations, always striving to learn and do their very best through extra effort and lerning from our experiences. 

The school uses RWInc and The Oxford Reading Tree, alongside high quality texts to teach reading. In addition, all classes use CLPE's Power of Reading to enthuse and motivate the children to read exciting and challenging texts.

The school uses the Maths Mastery approach to the teaching of Maths, and uses White Rose Maths to support planning for teaching, learning and progress.
