The National Curriculum 2014 is used to plan and teach English but we emphasise the use of key skills across the curriculum and in a variety of real life situations.  Please use the link to the relevant National Curriculum document on an adjoining page.

Children learn to read using a variety of strategies (including the use of phonics) aimed to develop fluent, life-long readers. Parents are encouraged to work in partnership with teachers to develop reading skills. 

Writing, speaking and listening skills are taught in meaningful contexts.
