Intent
At Priors Wood Primary School, we believe literacy and communication are vital life skills. Our English curriculum helps students develop the ability to communicate effectively through both spoken and written language, preparing them to be confident lifelong learners. Literacy is central to all learning, enabling students to express and explore their experiences, emotions, and ideas. It supports intellectual, emotional, and social growth and enriches the entire curriculum. Our goal is to nurture confident communicators, critical thinkers, and enthusiastic readers and writers, equipping students for future success.
