English
At Abbotsweld, our English curriculum is tailored to inspire and support our children in becoming confident, creative, and articulate communicators. Drawing from the principles of Talk for Writing and Talk for Reading, our approach is adapted to meet the specific needs of our pupils, ensuring every child feels empowered in their learning journey.
We use high-quality, inspiring texts to ignite curiosity and a love of reading. Where appropriate, these texts are carefully selected to link with non-core subjects, enriching our wider curriculum and providing meaningful, cross-curricular connections. This integrated approach helps deepen understanding and engage learners in a way that feels relevant and exciting.
Our curriculum ensures exposure to a diverse range of genres, encouraging exploration and creativity. From narrative and poetry to persuasive writing and non-fiction, children develop a strong foundation in both the art and mechanics of writing, fostering a lifelong appreciation of language.
While rooted in the National Curriculum, we strive to go beyond its expectations. Through exploration and challenge, we support our pupils to not only meet but exceed national standards. Our teaching is designed to nurture critical thinking, collaboration, and self-expression.
