English
Intent
Our intent at Lacock is to ensure high-quality English teaching for all pupils, using a broad and balanced curriculum, which demonstrates clear progression of skills and knowledge.
This will ensure that all pupils:
- demonstrate high expectations for the quality and quantity of their work,
- develop the habit of reading widely and often, for both pleasure and information
- use reading as a means of gathering information across the whole of the curriculum
- are able to use a wide vocabulary both verbally and in their writing
- can adapt their language and style for a range of contexts, purposes and audiences
- can use phonics and an understanding of morphology, to spell accurately
- appreciate our rich and varied literary heritage
- develop a fluent and legible, cursive handwriting style, of which they feel proud
- plan, draft, revise and edit their own writing – viewing mistakes as an important part of the process
- develop stamina for reading and writing
