English at Worle Village Primary School

At Worle Village Primary School, English and the teaching of English is the foundation of our curriculum.  Our main aim is to ensure every single child becomes primary literate and progresses in the areas of reading, writing, speaking and listening.  Staff at Worle Village feel it is seminal to highlight and be aware of the differing groups of learners and vulnerable children in their class.  Once this information is acquired, teachers can plan and teach personalised English lessons which focus on the particular needs of each child.  We recognise that each child has their own starting point upon entry to every year group and progress is measured in line with these starting points to ensure every child can celebrate success.

English at Worle Village will not only be a daily discrete lesson but is at the cornerstone of the entire curriculum.  Based around clearly mapped out topics, it is embedded within all our lessons and we will strive for a high level of English for all.  Through using high-quality texts, immersing children in vocabulary rich learning environments and ensuring new curriculum expectations and the progression of skills are met, the children at Worle Village will be exposed to a language heavy, creative and continuous English curriculum which will not only enable them to become primary literate but will also develop a love of reading, creative writing and purposeful speaking and listening.
