English at Ingleby Mill
English is at the heart of all children’s learning; it enables children both to communicate with others effectively for a variety of purposes and to examine their own and others’ experiences, feelings and ideas, giving these order and meaning. English is central to children’s intellectual, emotional and social development — it has an essential role across the curriculum and helps pupils’ learning to be coherent and progressive. At Ingleby Mill Primary School we are committed to providing high quality literacy which is inclusive, accessible and inspiring for all our children.
Aims – At Ingleby Mill, we aim to promote and implement the teaching and learning of English as the basis for communication, learning and personal development for all our pupils. This will provide the foundation children need to make the most of their abilities and talents and enable good future progress throughout school and beyond.
We aim to promote and implement the teaching and learning of reading as the basis for accessing and understanding the wider curriculum and the wider world. At Ingleby Mill, we are determined that every child will learn to read, regardless of background, needs or abilities. We want our children to be fluent, confident and analytical readers. In the early stages of reading we follow the systematic, synthetic phonics programme Little Wandle to teach children to decode. Alongside this, children will be exposed to a wealth of stories, poems, rhymes and non-fiction to develop their vocabulary, language comprehension and engender a genuine love of reading.
At Ingleby Mill, the writing curriculum is sequenced to accumulate knowledge and skills which can be applied independently by the end of primary school. Writing for purpose and audience is central to our writing curriculum. High quality texts form a ‘reading spine’ which in turn provides children with a stimulus for writing and a rich literary provision.
Spoken language is a central part of our English curriculum. Our children will be encouraged to express themselves creatively and imaginatively and to communicate with others effectively through spoken language.
