English provides the main instrument of learning  through the school curriculum.  The development of reading and language skills is therefore of major importance.  The school follows the National Literacy Strategy.  We place a high priority on the acquisition of language skills in all aspects of reading, writing, speaking and listening.  A love of books and the richness of our language are fostered from the earliest days at school.
 
We follow the National Literacy Programme for developing the ability to write in a coherent, lovely way using correct punctuation and ever increasing challenging vocabulary.
 
As children progress through each key stage they develop their ability to spell, punctuate, write grammatically correct work adapting to a variety of audiences whilst stimulated by a variety of situations.
 
A parent who wishes to teach their child to write before they enter school can obtain helpful information on letter formation upon enquiry.
