ST PETER'S

The teaching of reading is at the core of all learning at St Peter's and is prioritised by the headteacher. It is our aim to produce an environment where the children are enthusiastic, capable readers who love books. A range of texts encourage reading with confidence, fluency and understanding... At St Peter's, we believe that English is a fundamental life skill. English develops the children's ability to listen, speak and write for a wide range of purposes. Our children are enabled to express themselves creatively and imaginatively, as they become critical readers of stories, poetry and drama, as well as non-fiction and media texts. They gain an understanding of how language works by looking at patterns, structures and origins. Our children use their knowledge skills and understanding in speaking and writing across a range of different situations to ensure breadth, balance, continuity and progression. This results in building new skills and knowledge based upon what has been taught..
