English

English is the vehicle that drives teaching and learning across the curriculum. At Northwood Park Primary School, we are committed to the excellence in English both as a subject in its own right and through the development of the key skills of: reading, writing and oracy that permeate the curriculum. Our core aim is to enable every child to read with fluency, understanding and enjoyment and to communicate effectively both orally and in written form for a variety of purposes and audiences whilst developing an understanding of grammar, punctuation and spelling.  We pride ourselves on preparing our children for life outside of school offering them opportunities to explore current topics, widening their understanding of the world in which they live.
