English At St Benet’s

A high-quality education in English will teach pupils to speak and write fluently so that they can communicate their ideas and emotions to others and through their reading and listening, others can communicate with them.  It provides the foundation for all subsequent learning and is key to enabling progress across the curriculum. 

At St Benet’s, we recognise the fundamental importance that reading has on a child’s future academic achievement, well-being and success in life; we strive to develop a school environment where every child is not only able to read proficiently, but also develops a genuine love of reading.
