English
At Scotton Lingerfield Primary School, we want every child to become a confident reader, writer and communicator. We place strong foundations in language, phonics, spelling and handwriting alongside opportunities to enjoy books, explore ideas and write for different purposes.
Speaking and listening run through our English curriculum. Through conversation, storytelling, discussion, drama and performance, children develop the vocabulary and confidence to explain their thinking, listen to others and express themselves clearly.
High-quality books, poems and other texts are central to our teaching. They introduce children to different experiences and perspectives, broaden their understanding of the world and provide inspiration for their own writing.
Our curriculum builds progressively from Reception to Year 6. Within our mixed-age classes, teaching reflects children’s different stages of development, with regular practice and additional support where needed. Children apply their growing English skills across the curriculum, helping them become increasingly independent learners.
