Ripple
Primary School
Intent:
Our English curriculum is designed to immerse children in a range of language-rich texts and therefore develop their speaking, listening, reading and writing skills, with language acquisition at the heart. Our carefully chosen texts reflect the diverse communities we teach and inspire a life-long love of reading. Our systematic approach to the teaching of early reading and phonics will ensure that children can read fluently by the age of seven. Please see the phonics and early reading policy for further information.
We follow the national curriculum for English to ensure that all pupils:
· read easily, fluently and with good understanding.
· develop the habit of reading widely and often, for both pleasure and information.
· acquire a wide vocabulary, an understanding of grammar and knowledge of linguistic conventions for reading, writing and spoken language.
· appreciate our rich and varied literary heritage.
· write clearly, accurately and coherently, adapting their language and style in and for a range of contexts, purposes and audiences.
· use discussion in order to learn; they should be able to elaborate and explain clearly their understanding and ideas.
· are competent in the arts of speaking and listening, making formal presentations, demonstrating to others and participating in debate.
· develop a lifelong love of reading and writing.
