English

At Pilgrims’ Way we aim to develop pupils’ abilities within an integrated programme of Speaking & Listening, Reading & Writing. Pupils will be given opportunities to develop their use, knowledge and understanding of spoken and written English within a broad and balanced curriculum, with opportunities to consolidate and reinforce taught English skills.

• reading and writing with confidence, fluency and understanding, using a range of independent strategies to self-monitor and correct;
• with a love of reading and a desire to read for enjoyment;
• with an interest in words and their meanings; developing a growing vocabulary in spoken and written forms;
• understanding a range of text types, media types and genres;
• able to write in a variety of styles and forms appropriate to the situation;
• using their developing imagination, inventiveness and critical awareness;
• having a suitable technical vocabulary to articulate their responses
