Inspiring readers, empowering writers, and nurturing confident communicators
At Girton Glebe, English sits at the heart of our curriculum. We believe that the ability to communicate—to read with understanding, to write with purpose, and to speak with confidence—is the foundation for success across school and beyond.
Our aim is that all children leave Girton Glebe as:
- Fluent, joyful readers
- Thoughtful, purposeful writers
- Articulate speakers and active listeners
- Curious lifelong learners who understand the power of language in shaping their world.
Our English curriculum is research-informed and coherently designed, aligning the National Curriculum with the inquiry-driven principles of the IB PYP to ensure a consistent, high-quality approach to reading, writing and language.
High-quality literature, purposeful talk and rich, structured learning experiences underpin every aspect of English teaching at Girton Glebe.
