Our Intent

At St Botolph’s Primary School, we recognise the importance of English in supporting children in order for them to ‘Strive to be the best they can’. We understand that gaining and using skills in language not only affects a child’s progress in school but also forms effective communicators, ambitious writers, fluent readers and children that have the desire to learn. Our intent is that all of our pupils, irrelevant of their background or starting point, will be given the opportunity to develop their use, knowledge and understanding of spoken and written English within a broad and balanced curriculum and with opportunities to consolidate and reinforce skills that have been taught.
