How do we teach English?

In order to do create innovative writer's, we provide stimulating, inspiring and motivational learning environments that embed a range of rich language opportunities. Our English planning and implementation is underpinned by high quality text drivers, which expand children’s language and understanding. Through this text driver approach, all children are exposed to a wide range of writing opportunities that encourage them to be creative in expressing their own ideas for a variety of different audiences and purposes. We provide real life contexts and enable opportunities for speaking, listening, drama and role-play to support the children in developing as writers.
