English
Children are taught English every day. Following the Primary Framework for Literacy, emphasis is shared between teaching Speaking and Listening, Reading and Writing skills. The formal teaching of handwriting, spelling, punctuation and grammar complements opportunities for the children to share reading, give presentations and use ICT to undertake independent creative writing across a range of genres. Links with the Drama department also provide an introduction to Shakespeare and the theatre.
