Our English Curriculum
Our core aim, when teaching English, is to engage and inspire children in both reading and writing, so that they acquire the necessary knowledge, skills and understanding to become lifelong learners and linguists. We strive to ensure that all of our pupils receive a well-rounded learning experience when reading, writing, speaking and listening which will equip them with the fundamental tools to achieve in school and beyond. English is a core subject of the National Curriculum, and a prerequisite for educational and social progress, as it underpins the work undertaken in all areas of the curriculum. The acquisition of language and early reading skills are of the upmost importance to us here at High Hurstwood CE Primary School and therefore the teaching of all aspects English is given a high priority within school.
The subpages on the left have more information about our teaching of Phonics, Reading and Writing.
