English
Our phonics programme is Read, Write Inc.
At Larkrise Primary School, we believe children achieving fluency in English is essential if they are to both access and succeed across all areas of the curriculum. We endeavour to ensure children reach their full potential in these areas by providing an inspiring and relevant English curriculum which promotes high standards of language and literacy, equips pupils with a strong command of spoken and written word, and develops a life-long love of literature through reading and writing for enjoyment. Books are at the heart of our English curriculum and, through reading, pupils have a chance to develop culturally, emotionally and intellectually. Reading and writing tasks often link to other areas of the curriculum so children have a deep understanding of the context for each task. This also enables pupils to use technical and subject-specific language well.
