English Curriculum Statement

Intent

English Reading Intent

We strive to ensure every one of our pupils leaves with the necessary literacy skills to thrive, not only in the next stage of their education, but in all of their future endeavours. Pupils are exposed to a wide range of quality, challenging texts and are taught the required skills to read for information, for understanding, and for enjoyment. Reading for pleasure is at the core of our curriculum and we provide exciting opportunities to engage children and their families in our reading culture and to foster a lifelong love of books.

English Writing Intent

To be a writer, you must first become a reader, and the strong links across our English curriculum provide pupils with the quality literature required to develop the necessary skills to express themselves through writing. Every one of our pupils is a writer, and we strive to provide every child the tools to plan, develop and edit their writing for a range of purposes across the curriculum. Writing is celebrated and, by giving our pupils opportunities to have their writing seen by an audience, we enable every child to view themselves as successful, independent writers.
