English Curriculum

In our language rich school, as a National Curriculum Core subject, Literacy has a key position in the school curriculum. The ability to develop the use of the English language is crucial for each child’s education.  It is the main medium through which the rest of the curriculum is learned and taught and the major means by which children interpret the world around them and communicate with other people.  Literacy is taught as a discrete subject but cross-curricular links are developed and encouraged, often through the rich text which is leading the Creative Learning Journey for that term. 

Intention

To develop:

• articulate children who are able to express their thoughts and feelings both orally and in the written form
• fluent readers with a love of literature and an ability to use books well
• children who write accurately with a sound knowledge of phonics, spelling rules and correct grammar
