CURRICULUM
EnglishEnglish Curriculum Ambition: National
At Stafford it is our intent and ambition for English to broadly follow the National Curriculum, whilst adapting the curriculum to reflect our local context. Our intention is that pupils make rapid progress, so that English results for the school are consistently above national averages in all phases for key performance measures.
English Curriculum Ambition: stafford
Stafford pupils receive a broad, balanced and creative English curriculum which fosters a lifelong love of reading to enable pupils to progressively build and deepen their knowledge, understanding and skills across all subjects. Our varied and creative English curriculum progresses through EYFS to Year 6, providing children with the acquired skills at each key stage to secure an effective transition. The role of English in the curriculum is to develop imaginative and inspired writers who are ambitious and fluent readers, who enjoy reading for pleasure, resulting in confident and considered communicators. English is an immersive cross-curricular subject that is developed in all areas of the school, with literacy at the heart of all planned activities and experiences.
Our Vision: Be The Best We Can Be
We want our pupils to be confident, independent, high achieving learners who are prepared for the next stage of their education and can fully participate as global citizens.
We will achieve this by a commitment to providing an inclusive, safe and inspirational teaching and learning environment that promotes high expectations of all pupils.
We support one another to overcome challenges with confidence and resilience, showing respect for ourselves and each other. We celebrate hard work and effort and our successes are shared because we know that together we can achieve more.
