English Curriculum Overview

The intent of our English curriculum is to foster a love of reading, writing and spoken language, enabling students to become confident communicators and lifelong learners. Through a balanced and rich curriculum, we aim to develop student’s fluency in reading, from phonics and decoding in Key Stage 1 to comprehension and analysis in Key Stage 2.  We prioritise the development of writing skills, focussing on grammar, vocabulary, and structure, ensuring pupils can express themselves clearly and creatively. Spoken language is at the heart of our curriculum promoting effective communication and collaboration.  Ultimately, our goal is to instill a lifelong passion for language and literature.
