“Ambition for All”
Our English curriculum develops confident, articulate and thoughtful communicators who can read, write and speak with clarity and purpose. Pupils explore a rich range of literature and texts that broaden cultural understanding and deepen empathy.
Learning is sequenced so pupils build knowledge of vocabulary, grammar and literary forms, supported to express their ideas effectively for different audiences and purposes. Reading and writing are taught as purposeful, interconnected processes, empowering pupils to engage critically with the world around them.
We aim to ensure ambition for all regardless of background or starting points and remove barriers so that every pupil can access high-quality English learning. Through English, pupils are encouraged to reflect on human experience with insight and compassion, demonstrating hope, wisdom and respect, and to develop a love of language that equips them to soar to the heights together.
