At Old Earth School we are passionate about ensuring all children become confident, independent and enthusiastic readers and writers. We aim for all our children to develop a genuine love of reading and writing by using quality texts and topics which inspire and excite them. We deliver an inspiring and engaging English curriculum through high quality teaching and exciting lessons.

English in the cornerstone of the entire curriculum, embedded in all lessons. Cross-curricular links are made across the curriculum to ensure that children’s English learning is relevant and meaningful, and that they can apply their skills across all subjects and areas of learning.

Our aim is that when the children leave us, they are avid readers who read fluently and widely, and can express opinions about what they read. We want the children to have had access to a wide range of authors, genres and text types during their time with us and feel confident to further develop their reading skills in later life.

We want to produce children who write with confidence and accuracy for different purposes and audiences, and create writing that is well detailed and structured, engaging to the reader and contains all necessary grammatical, punctuation and spelling features.
