English

"Reading is like breathing in. Writing is like breathing out." Pam Allyn

At Headcorn Primary School, we provide a broad and balanced learning environment that stimulates curiosity and supports every child’s development across the curriculum. Our approach engages the senses and creates an inclusive and inspiring space for learning. Staff and pupils work collaboratively, sharing best practices and striving for excellence.

Our pupils are confident, capable writers who explore a variety of genres using both digital and traditional media, as well as through creative outlets like drama and role play. Lessons are thoughtfully designed to cater to the diverse needs of our students, with an emphasis on high-quality oral work to engage learners of all abilities.

Reading for meaning and pleasure is at the heart of our English curriculum. We encourage children to talk enthusiastically about books, discuss and analyse texts, and share their recommendations with peers.

At Headcorn Primary School, our students enjoy English and discovering the joy of storytelling, expression, and communication.
