English

At St Aidan’s our English curriculum underpins all others. Children’s ability to read and write and communicate is the basis on which their ability to navigate and understand the world around around them is built. This aspect of our curriculum is fundamental to children being able to not only develop their practical skills and express their wider knowledge and understanding but to develop their imaginative and creative selves in order to express themselves as unique individuals and experience the power of communication within the wider world.  

Reading: At St Aidan’s we recognise that reading is the core skill to everything that children do. It is integral to our school curriculum and a fundamental life skill that impacts on the acquisition of knowledge. We aim is to develop fluent, independent and reflective readers in both decoding and comprehension, who are confident to talk about books and authors.

We encourage children to become enthusiastic and reflective readers through an increasingly challenging diet throughout the curriculum, and provide a wide-ranging reading provision to foster a love of reading so that children read independently for pleasure and purpose throughout their lives.
