At St. Joseph’s Catholic Primary School, our English curriculum follows the aims from the National Curriculum for English (2014) and has been carefully designed to empower our pupils to become confident readers, writers, and communicators, whilst developing the ability to apply these skills within a balanced and inspiring curriculum. Through an immersive approach to the teaching of English, we surround our children with high-quality literature, creative writing opportunities and purposeful speaking and listening tasks. In all its forms, we believe that our English curriculum should enable our children to develop the skills required to effectively express their thoughts, ideas, and opinions within the wider world, preparing them for their journey into secondary school and beyond.
