We aim to deliver a high quality English curriculum that gives children the best possible opportunities to become confident, literate, successful members of society, with a deep love and understanding of English language and literature. We believe the development of literacy skills is central to improving a child’s life chances. Teachers have high expectations for all children to achieve and enjoy English and to be able to use the skills they have acquired in a range of contexts. We strive to ensure all children can communicate clearly in spoken and written form and become masters of language. Rich texts are at the heart of our teaching and a love for reading is promoted throughout the school.
