English - Littleton Green Community School

English Subject Lead

“My vision for English to engage and enthuse pupils to read and write across a range of genres and styles. By using high-quality texts that celebrate diversity as stimuli, pupils will develop their reading fluency, understanding and vocabulary. All children will use their reading skills to become accomplished writers who are able to write technically accurately and most importantly, show individuality and creativity within their writing. Children will be empowered to be confident and enthusiastic readers and writers for life. “
