Our English curriculum is designed to nurture life-long readers and writers who are equipped with essential skills and inspired to engage meaningfully with a diverse range of texts and to become confident writers themselves. Through a rich and varied selection of high-quality literature, we build pupils’ cultural capital by exposing them to different perspectives, experiences and voices, enabling them to feel represented in their learning while also being challenged beyond what they might typically read and write.

By reading as writers and writing with clear purpose and audience in mind, pupils develop a deep appreciation of how language works and how it can be used powerfully. Through this integrated approach, we aim to cultivate a lasting love of reading and writing that extends far beyond the classroom.
