English Curriculum Intent
At Gunter Primary, we seek to achieve the very best for all of our children regardless of their starting points. As such, we have designed our curriculum to best meet the needs of all of our children and provide measures to support those needing to ‘catch up’.
Throughout the whole of our Curriculum, we aim to promote high standards of language and literacy; equipping our pupils with a strong command of spoken and written language as well as developing our pupil’s love of literature by widespread reading for enjoyment. We see reading as the key to unlocking the door to success in all aspects of life, both at school and beyond.
Our English Curriculum maps and tailor-made schemes of work offer a strategic approach to vocabulary, reading and writing as well as carefully meeting the National Curriculum objectives. Links for reading and writing remains a key focus across other subjects particularly Science, History, Geography, Art, DT and RE.
