English Curriculum 

English Intent

For pupils to be avid readers, confident writers and effective communicators

Implementation

• Focus on phonics and systematic teaching of reading throughout the school
• Reading Reconsidered provides a structured approach to reading and high quality texts
• Writing is embedded in rich experiences and challenging subject matter
• Planning, feedback and assessment is closely linked to challenge misconceptions and move learning on
• Audience and purpose, alongside composition and effect, are key elements of all English planning

Impact

• Children are confident and fluent readers and can use reading as a tool to develop themselves intellectually, culturally and socially.  
• Children are articulate speakers who effectively use the spoken language to communicate their ideas and values, whilst being able to listen to those of others.
• Children use ambitious vocabulary and creativity to convey their ideas in their written work, adapting their writing to meet the needs of the audience and purpose.
