Scholar Green Primary & Nursery SchoolEnglish Curriculum
The school believes that English skills are vital to the development of children so they are prepared for their future life. A broad and balanced English programme using the National Curriculum 2014 and Early Years Foundation Curriculum which determines the skills that each year group and Key Stage must cover. A range of genres are studied and promoted. A variety of resources are used to promote a reading and writing culture. Children are given a range of writing opportunities including the use of paired, group and independent writing tasks. This is developed across both Key Stages, so that the children learn to respond appropriately and supportively to each other regardless of gender, age, cultural or ethnic background.
At Scholar Green Primary School our aim is for every child to become a fluent reader. We want children to become fluent readers in order for them to reach age related expectations or make accelerated progress from their starting point. As well as this we want children to develop a love for reading and read for pleasure on a regular basis. Our curriculum is designed around the needs of the pupils in our school and there are a variety of approaches to enable the pupils to make good progress.
