English

At St Mary's we believe that Literacy is a fundamental life skill. It develops a child's ability to listen, speak, read and write for a wide range of purposes. We use a variety of teaching and learning styles in our English lessons in order to meet the needs of all our pupils. Speaking, listening, group interaction and drama techniques are used throughout the teaching sequence to develop skills, to engage and inspire. Purposeful role-play is used in the Foundation Stage to develop language and imagination. Children are given opportunities to share and enjoy a wide range of rhymes, songs, poetry and books.
