English at Chidlow
At Chidlow Primary School, we believe in nurturing not just students, but confident communicators, imaginative thinkers, and informed citizens. We recognise the pivotal role English plays in shaping these qualities. It’s not just about mastering the language; it’s about empowering young minds to navigate the world around them with clarity and compassion.
Our commitment to excellence in English education is evident in our tailored curriculum, meticulously designed to meet the needs of every student. We understand that each child learns differently, so we employ a variety of methods, from guided reading to Sounds Write and Literacy Pro, ensuring that every learner receives the support they need to thrive.
The English curriculum includes a range of interrelated areas including:
- Reading and Viewing
- Spelling and Phonics
- Writing and Handwriting
- Grammar and Punctuation
- Speaking and Listening
Our teachers don’t just impart knowledge; they inspire and guide. Through our “I Do, You Do, We Do” instructional model, we ensure that students are not only learning but also actively engaging with the material. Clear, targeted feedback is provided every step of the way, fostering a culture of continuous improvement.
But our commitment doesn’t stop there. We believe in accountability and progress tracking. Our whole-school assessment system allows us to monitor student progress closely, enabling us to provide teachers with the necessary tools to tailor their teaching strategies effectively.
At Chidlow Primary School, we’re not just educating students; we’re shaping future leaders. Join us in this journey of discovery, growth, and excellence in English education. Together, let’s empower our children to become ethical, thoughtful, and active members of society.
