Subject Intent	We believe that a broad and balanced reading curriculum is fundamental, not only to personal and social development, and our British Values, but also to our ability to understand, evaluate, dissect and disseminate knowledge of those around us. At Chapel-en-le Frith Primary School, it is our intent that we will instil a passion, enthusiasm and love of reading in every child. With this at the core of our values, we will provide each child with the opportunity to explore a range of fiction, non-fiction and poetry texts and widen their experience and imagination through a rich and varied selection of texts. We promote our cultural capital by providing essential knowledge through texts and reading that pupils need to be educated citizens, introducing them to the best examples of children’s literature and helping them to develop an appreciation of human creativity and achievement. We want our children to leave Chapel-en-le-Frith Primary School as confident, independent and happy readers that are equipped with the reading skills needed to continue to learn and enjoy life’s opportunities and challenges.

Subject Intent	We believe English is fundamental, not only to personal and social development, but also to our ability to understand, evaluate, dissect and disseminate knowledge and, consequently, our ability to communicate effectively in society. At Chapel-en-le-Frith Primary School, it is our intent that we will instil a passion and enthusiasm for ‘writing and reading for pleasure’ in every child. With this at the core of our values, we will provide each child with the opportunity to explore the world around them and widen their experience and imagination through reading and writing. We will also provide children with the skills to critically evaluate texts and explore the tools and techniques employed by the writer. It is the skill of ‘reading as a writer’ and ‘writing as a reader’ that we want to nurture and develop. We want our children to leave Chapel-en-le-Frith Primary School with a rich vocabulary that provides them with the ability to play and manipulate language; recognising the nuance of meaning and how language can be used for a range of purposes. We want children to have the confidence to be able to communicate effectively and get their meaning across in a variety of situations, not least, the world of employment when they are older.

We follow the National curriculum in England: English programmes of study – key stages 1 and 2, which can be found here:
