Curriculum Content

Intent

The English curriculum will take students on a learning journey, in which all students will acquire the communication and critical thinking skills that will enable them to become successful and confident members of, and contributors to, society, and which gives pupils access to the accumulated knowledge that is part of their cultural heritage and identity.
