We teach English as a topic based and cross-curricular subject.

This includes reading, spelling, grammar, comprehension, writing, handwriting, poetry and drama.

Our objectives at Kew College are:

  • To enjoy the subject and study it with a sense of achievement.
  • To develop children’s knowledge, skills and understanding.
  • To provide pupils with the best possible learning opportunities matched to their individual needs.
  • To enable children to speck clearly, fluently and confidently and listen attentively and respond appropriately.
  • To be able to read a wide range of texts fluently and accurately and with understanding and enjoyment.
  • To be able to write for a variety of purposes and range of audiences whilst spelling and punctuating correctly.
  • To encourage pupils to produce clear legible and fluent joined up writing.
