English
The National Curriculum sets out the teaching and learning requirements in English for each year group from one to Six. Units are chosen by class teachers to meet the requirements of the national curriculum for their year group. These can be selected/adapted from a range of sources (such as Hamilton Trust, Lancashire Planning units, Oak Academy) or written by class teachers themselves. In Reception, the planning is built from the guidance in the Statutory Framework for The Early Years Foundation Stage
English is a National Curriculum core subject and is taught in every year group throughout the primary phase. The structure of lessons varies greatly from Reception to Year Six as the age and ability of the children increase. The National Curriculum 2014 for English gives details on what content is legally required. English covers reading – including comprehension and phonics; writing – including handwriting and composition; Grammar, Punctuation and Spelling (GPS), and speaking and listening – including reading aloud, performance and debate.
