How do we SOAR in English
Our goal for English is that by the time they leave Nythe, each child will:
- Be able to explore the world of text, become creative thinkers, and record their ideas, thoughts and opinions.
- Develop a love of reading, a desire to explore and discover the world (both real and imagined) around them, and to develop a deeper knowledge of themselves and others.
- Appreciate carefully considered spoken and written word and will enjoy replicating and practicing this themselves.
- Learn without limits across subjects and for life-long curiosity.
- Become fluent readers enabling them to enjoy and understand the texts they read.
- Receive support swiftly or be challenges to aspire beyond and reach deeper levels of understanding.
- Communicate their ideas clearly and confidently.
- Have the stamina and perseverance to produce longer pieces that accurately reflect their understanding and ability.
English holds a unique place in the school curriculum, able to simultaneously open the minds of young people to powerful ideas, voices and perspectives and at the same time develop the core literacy skills that are vital to learners’ ability to make progress in other subjects and in their lives.
