This is a key subject and critical to a child's development in Sampford Arundel Primary School.  The teaching team work hard to ensure that children have access to good quality texts for all taught units.  Within the overarching subject of English there are key skills and knowledge which are split into Reading and Writing.

Early Readers will learn Reading through Phonics which is contained within a separate section within the curriculum page.

We find that children write with greater fluency and enjoyment if their work is based on real life experiences or subject matter which links with other parts of the curriculum.  With this in mind our Four Year rolling Key Stage 2 programme has texts which will link in with the History and Geography topics at various points in it.
