English

At BCJS, we place the essential skill of reading at the heart of our curriculum. Once pupils can decode text effectively, we develop their fluency and comprehension skills in order to become confident, independent readers who enjoy and understand the benefits of reading. Reading widely and often increases pupils’ vocabulary, feeds their imagination and reveals wonder and joy for curious minds.

We also understand the importance of being effective communicators, therefore our English curriculum teaches pupils how to read, write and speak fluently and with confidence. It is because we promote high standards of language and literacy across all subjects, that our pupils are equipped with a strong command of the spoken and written word.
