At Goodmayes Primary School, English has a high priority within the timetable; excellent literacy skills are the key to children succeeding in so many other areas of the curriculum. All children are taught English every day and experience a wide range of speaking and listening activities and opportunities for reading and writing to develop their communication skills. Spelling and Grammar are taught explicitly at each age range. Children write for real audiences and purpose to inspire their writing.n The English curriculum ensures that children gain an understanding of high-quality fiction, non-fiction, poetry, and drama texts. Phonics is an important and enjoyable part of our English teaching.
