Writing – Our aim is to inspire children to be creative, imaginative writers, who enjoy sharing their ideas on a page. Giving children the opportunity to be innovative writers will provide them with important skills such as being able to expand on their vocabulary and be able to write at length.
Reading – Our aim is to nurture a love of reading by equipping our students with the skills to become confident, fluent, accurate readers who can understand and enjoy a variety of texts.
By investing in quality text across school, children are exposed to a variety of authors and genres; creating a culture of reading for pleasure with children asking for recommendations and sharing their favourite books with others.
