BOUGHTON MONCHELSEA

At Boughton Monchelsea our aim is to promote high standards of English by equipping children with a secure understanding and command of spoken and written language. Language is both a means of communication and a vehicle for thinking, and is crucial to children's development and learning. It gives pupils a voice and a means of expression, as they learn that words are powerful. English is both a subject in its own right and the primary medium for teaching the whole curriculum. Fluency in the English language is an essential foundation for success in all subjects, as it provides pupils with the key to effective learning... We put good quality children's literature at the heart of English teaching to encourage pupils to foster a love of reading. We believe that every child deserves the chance to become a reader, as we know that reading opens children up to ideas, experiences, places and times they might never otherwise experience in real life... Children begin to follow the Floppy's..
