English
All pupils are entitled to a progressive and comprehensive English programme which embraces current Statutory Orders of the National Curriculum and takes into account individual interests and needs.
Pupils will have access to all components of current National Curriculum programmes of study, which should include the Communication and Language and Literacy Early Learning Goals in the EYFS and English at Key Stages 1 and 2 in order that pupils may work towards the expected levels of performance as set out in current National Curriculum descriptors. The planning and delivery of each unit of work will ensure that each pupil will have the opportunity to:
-
acquire and develop new skills in reading, writing and communication
-
select and apply appropriate skills and compositional ideas
-
evaluate their own and others' performance in order to improve
-
gain knowledge and understanding of the English language and its use
-
make links with other areas of the curriculum.
English is taught both as a discrete subject and also through themed, cross curricular lessons enabling pupils to write and continue reading through the day. Please see below for our English Curriculum Flowchart
