English
In English we encourage a love of reading through the use of good quality texts that inspire and excite our children. We foster a love of language, giving children opportunities to develop their skills, enabling them to become effective communicators, whilst also developing their listening skills. Through reading and exposure to a range of different genre, children have the chance to develop culturally, emotionally, intellectually, socially and spiritually. Children are engaged by writing opportunities that have a real purpose and are motivated to become successful in all areas of the English curriculum.
