Our Intent
We aim to make our children competent and confident users of English. Through a balance of different teaching methods, we aim to help children acquire the skills they need to access all areas of the curriculum and equip them with the ability to communicate effectively in our society. These English skills will also be central to gaining employment and being modern, global citizens.
As a school, we aim to ensure that the pupils:
- Read fluently and with good understanding
- Develop the habit of reading widely and often, for both pleasure and information
- Acquire a broad vocabulary through reading a wide range of books
- Have a solid understanding of English grammar
- Write clearly, coherently and accurately, adapting their language and style for a range of purposeful contexts and audiences.
- Use discussion in order to learn; our children should be able to both listen attentively and clearly explain their thinking and ideas to others.
