English

At Cottam Primary School, through our teaching of English, we strive for our children to become articulate and imaginative learners. We want our children to discuss, debate, support, challenge and build using their spoken language clearly and their listening skills keenly. We want our children to love reading and to do it with ease, fluency and understanding for pleasure and to widen their understanding of the world. We want our children to enjoy words using language to its full when writing for a whole variety of purposes and audiences making themselves understood and entertaining others.
