English

Intent:  

At OLS, we are deeply committed to nurturing a love for English among our pupils. Our intent is to provide a vibrant and enriching English curriculum that not only equips students with the essential skills but also fosters creativity, critical thinking, and a lifelong passion for reading and writing. 

Implement:  

We implement a dynamic and comprehensive English curriculum that encompasses writing, reading, creativity and a love of different genres. Through a combination of interactive lessons, engaging activities, and real-world applications, we create stimulating learning environments where students can explore the wonders of a range of texts and stimuli. Our approach includes a balance of reading, writing, speaking, and listening activities, adapted to meet the diverse needs and interests of every student. 

Impact:  

The impact of our English curriculum is far-reaching. By providing a solid foundation in literacy skills and nurturing a love for reading and writing, we empower our pupils to communicate effectively, think critically, and express themselves confidently. Our pupils develop strong language skills, a love of books, and engage meaningfully with diverse texts and ideas. As a result we hope, they emerge as articulate communicators, creative thinkers, and lifelong learners, ready to succeed in their academic journey and beyond.
