English

English is a core subject in primary schools and there are many aspects to it. The different sections of this page should provide a good insight into how we teach English at Moorside Primary School. Our aim is for children to enjoy learning English as a subject in its own right, as well as being able to use it as tool for learning in other subjects.

The National Curriculum divides English into three main areas:

• Speaking and Listening
• Reading
• Writing

All three areas are important and the skills developed in one area support learning in the other areas. In the coming weeks, we will be developing this area to describe our approach to each of these areas.
