English & Guided Reading

Vision

Since the beginning of time, the written word has the power to circulate powerful ideas, preserve cultures and influence the values that we hold dear. Thus, our curriculum is designed to close and surpass any vocabulary gaps that may stop our students from being able to think critically and express their thoughts with clarity through writing, reading and spoken forms of expression. Through the implementation of our guided reading and disciplinary literacy programme, we aim to enhance student’s ability to access the national curriculum, further education or the world of work.

Our curriculum introduces students to diverse fiction and non-fiction texts, creating opportunities for our students to explore their own identity, develop a positive sense of self and engage respectfully with opinions that may challenge their own social, moral and spiritual experiences.
