The Vision and Values of Our English Curriculum
DEVELOP SPIRITUALITY
Through exposure to a range of texts and engagement in debate, reasoning and drama, our English curriculum gives pupils the language and provocations to reflect on the ethereal.
ACT WITH JUSTICE, RESPECT AND DIGNITY
Our English curriculum provides all pupils with equitable opportunities that address variation in prior experiences to ensure that inequality is dispelled, and all pupils have the cultural capital to contribute fully to society.
FOSTER A SENSE OF VOCATION
Our English curriculum provides pupils with the reading, writing and oracy foundation skills they will build upon and use throughout their lifetime.
PROMOTE EDUCATIONAL EXCELLENCE
The depth and breadth of our English curriculum equips children with the fundamental skills of oracy, reading and writing to access the wider curriculum and promote their academic success.
FORM HIGH ASPIRATIONS
Our ambitious English curriculum will create a passion for literature and writing and will demand high-order responses which are progressive over time.
CELEBRATE COMMUNITY
Our English curriculum resources reflect the diversity of society and the richness of our communities. It provides opportunities for staff to work collaboratively and for pupils to come together to celebrate their learning.
SUPPORT EXCEPTIONAL LEADERSHIP
Our English curriculum is underpinned by the best international research. It is carefully planned to be progressive and demanding.
The effects of this curriculum are greater than the sum of its parts, enabling all to flourish.
Having 100% attendance for a whole academic school year is such an achievement and we wanted to acknowledge and celebrate those children that were able to achieve that this year. We went to the cinema to see Toy Story 5 and the children enjoyed it with some treats! Well done!
