The aims of English are:

  • To enable children to speak clearly and audibly in ways which take account of their listeners
  • To encourage children to listen and to read with concentration in order to be able to understand the world around them
  • To develop children’s abilities to reflect on their own and others contributions and the language used
  • To develop confident, independent readers and writers through an appropriate focus on word, sentence and text level knowledge.
  • To encourage children to become enthusiastic and reflective readers and writers through enjoyable texts
  • To help children to value and enjoy speaking, reading and writing
