Our intent is to develop confident, enthusiastic and capable communicators. We want all children to:
- Develop a love of reading, exploring a wide range of texts that reflect diverse voices and experiences
- Read fluently and with strong comprehension skills, using reading to learn across all areas of the curriculum
- Write with clarity, accuracy and imagination, adapting their style for different audiences and purposes
- Build a rich and ambitious vocabulary through explicit teaching and meaningful application
- Speak confidently, listen respectfully and engage in high-quality discussion and inquiry
This intent is driven by our belief that reading, writing and speaking are mutually reinforcing and central to pupils’ success in school and beyond.
