English

Our English Subject Leader is Mrs C Knight, supported by our link governor, Mrs. Nerys Ditchburn-Hughes. 

English is mainly split into the areas of reading and phonics; writing and oracy with all other skills encompassed in these. Please see the phonics subsection of this page for more information on our use of Read Write Inc Phonics. We aim to develop a lifelong love of speaking, reading and writing in all our pupils, helping them to become confident communicators. Each class has their own library of books to choose from, in addition to our wonderful school library. All children have a chance to visit the library each week and children in Key Stage Two also access the Library Club at lunchtimes, ably led by our reading mentor, Miss Reid. 

Some of the exciting ways children use their English skills.

Performing in plays or speaking in class-led worship.

Practical activities and visits from authors. .
