Literacy

In English at Key Stage 1, children are encouraged to speak confidently and to listen to what others have to say. They are taught to read and write independently and with enthusiasm. In Literacy lessons children are taught a variety of skills which include word recognition, grammar, spelling, handwriting skills and compositional skills.
In Key Stage 2, children are taught to speak and write to suit different situations, purposes and information. In writing, they are taught to plan and draft their work, building on the work from Key Stage 1. We hope that all children will leave us with their own individual style of writing, reading coherently and fluently and being able to express themselves clearly.
