Moorthorpe Primary School with Inclusion Resource - English Vision Statement
The English curriculum at our school encourages a life-long love of language and communication.
Through our English teaching we promote an appreciation of our rich and varied literary heritage. We set high standards for language and literacy and equip pupils with a strong command of the spoken and written word. From the earliest point with phonics in Nursery, to sustained writing in a range of genres in Key Stage 2, children at Moorthorpe Primary are taught the necessary skills to express themselves verbally and in written form. We provide opportunities for children to demonstrate dramatic skill and confident speaking through role play, whole class assemblies and festive performances.
Pupils at Moorthorpe learn literacy skills through experiences and high quality children’s texts that interest, inspire and excite readers and empower them to express their thoughts and ideas effectively and creatively through writing. Reading and writing are life-skills that we believe all children are entitled to have, therefore we teach our learners the necessary knowledge and skills to participate fully as a member of society.
