English
English encompasses:
- speaking and listening
- reading
- writing
- spelling, grammar and punctuation
- handwriting
At Banks Road we want our pupils to be confident and competent in all of these areas so that they can:
- communicate effectively with others
- express themselves creatively
- appreciate a wide range of literature
- develop critical awareness
- express preferences based on informed judgements
“Three Rules for Literary Success:
- Read a lot.
- Write a lot.
- Read a lot more, write a lot more.”
