 The three main areas of the English Curriculum are Reading, Writing and Speaking and Listening. English is taught through reading, writing and communication in every curriculum area. Classes Year 1 to Year 6 children also have a dedicated Literacy Hour every day. The content of work covered in the Literacy Hour is taken from the National Literacy Strategy. Reception class follow the Foundation Stage, a specific program designed for younger children. In the early years there are many opportunities for role-play. Children are encouraged to read for pleasure. Books chosen by the children are taken home to be shared with other family members or to be read alone. All classes have a buddy reading session once a week. This is where two classes read together. The mixed ages are very successful, the children really enjoy buddy reading. We have a wide range of reading materials in our well-stocked library and in our classrooms. Classes are involved in whole class reading using big books. Teachers have high expectations of the presentation of written work. This develops a sense of pride within the children. The school follows a handwriting scheme to ensure consistency of letter formation throughout the school. All our children are well known authors!
