"Reading is like breathing in, writing is like breathing out’.

Pam Allyn, (Literacy Expert, Author)

At North Fawdon Primary School, English is the foundation of our broad and balanced curriculum and is embedded within all of our lessons. We recognise that reading and writing are skills that we use on a daily basis and are an essential part of everyday life.

Our pupils are exposed to high-quality texts, language-rich learning environments and a creative and continuous English curriculum that will not only enable them to become primary literate but will also develop a love of reading, creative writing and purposeful speaking and listening which will stay with them throughout their lives and empower them in future life.

At North Fawdon, our vision is for the passion of quality literature to drive our English curriculum and for children to learn new skills in an engaging and purposeful way. All of our English planning is underpinned by the National Curriculum.
