English

Vision Statement

At South Grove, we believe that English and communication are key life skills. It is integral to fostering, within all of our children, the motivation to not only achieve, but to thrive, as readers, writers and orators.

Through our English curriculum, we help children develop the skills and knowledge that will enable them to communicate effectively and creatively through spoken and written language equipping them with the skills to become lifelong learners. We want children to be capable and fluent readers and writers.

We believe that English is central to children’s intellectual, emotional and social development - it has a crucial role across the curriculum enabling children’s learning to be coherent and progressive.

It is at the heart of all children’s learning and enables children both to communicate and connect with others effectively for a variety of purposes, examining their own and others’ experiences, feelings and ideas, giving these order and meaning.
