English
Ambition
Our aim is for every child to reach their full potential, have a positive view of literature and build a solid foundation in reading and writing to assist them in accessing the rest of the curriculum. We celebrate and provide rich reading experiences so pupils are confident to explore and discuss texts in detail.
Implementation
Starting in Early Years, pupils explore books with their friends and teachers in our inspiring indoor and outdoor learning environments. We work in partnership with parents to help them become key in their child’s reading journey and work to support learning at home.
These strong foundations are developed further in Key Stage One, where a range of texts from fiction to non-fiction and poetry, are used to heighten use of vocabulary and enjoyment of reading while exploring their understanding of themes and characters.
The difference segments of our English curriculum are:
- Reading experiences
- Phonics
- Comprehension
- Writing
- Spelling and handwriting
- Punctuation and Grammar
Impact
Our innovative curriculum and focus has been a great strength to the school.
