Subject Leader: Ros Golden
At Charing Church of England Primary School, we recognise English as a fundamental subject that underpins learning across the curriculum and plays a vital role in children’s everyday lives. Rooted in our Christian values, the curriculum nurtures confident, curious, and resilient lifelong learners who communicate effectively and express themselves with clarity and creativity. Inspired by our vision to celebrate and develop every child’s unique talents, we aim to foster a love of reading and writing that enriches children’s educational, cultural, and personal growth, enabling them to engage meaningfully with the world around them.
Key Aims
Our teaching of English is designed to:
