Reading

We want pupils to enjoy and appreciate literature and its rich variety. Pupils learn that reading is an enjoyable activity and a life skill. Pupils develop comprehension strategies that allow them to practice key reading skills and engage with text in a variety of ways to suit their different learning styles.

Writing

We promote writing and look for ways to inspire and motivate pupils so that they see themselves as ‘writers’. Teachers establish the purpose and audience for writing and make teaching objectives explicit to pupils so they know why they are studying a particular text type, the kind of writing activities they need to undertake and what the expected outcome will be.

Library

Our school library is a very well- resourced and a stimulating learning environment that encourages a love of reading. All pupils are timetabled to visit the school library and choose books to take home which engage, interest and further their knowledge from a wide range of literature. A variety of contemporary and traditional literature are available for pupils to explore.

Drama

Drama lessons are taught by our specialist Drama teacher who provides interactive lessons for pupils. They learn presentation skills which develop confidence when performing to an audience, collaboration and strategies that bring texts to life.

Phonics

All pupils in Early Years Foundation Stage and Key Stage 1 are taught decoding and early reading skills through the Letters and Sounds Phonics Programme. Lessons are interactive and engaging to enable all pupils to participate.
