English Intent
At The Cathedral School of St Peter and St John RC Primary we believe that a quality Literacy (English) curriculum should develop children’s love of reading, writing and discussion.
We aim to inspire an appreciation of our rich and varied literary heritage and a habit of reading widely and often. We recognise the importance of nurturing a culture where children take pride in their writing, can write clearly and accurately and adapt their language and style for a range of contexts.
We want to inspire children to be confident in the art of speaking and listening and use discussion to communicate and further their learning.
A secure basis in literacy skills is crucial to a high quality education and will give our children the tools they need to participate fully as a member of society and fulfil their divine potential.
