English Curriculum Intent
At St Bernard’s, our English curriculum develops confident, creative and articulate learners. Grounded in EEF research and a commitment to oracy, writing and emotional literacy, we ensure every pupil learns to read widely, write with purpose and speak with confidence. Through rich texts, meaningful discussion and explicit vocabulary teaching, pupils become thoughtful readers, expressive writers and empathetic communicators. By the end of primary school, all children can read fluently, write effectively and speak with clarity and confidence, equipped with the language and imagination to succeed in learning and life.
Ultimately, our English curriculum empowers pupils to become thoughtful readers, expressive writers and articulate speakers, ready to learn, lead and thrive in life.
