Thomas Jolyffe Primary School

English

English… Literacy… Reading… Writing… Grammar… Spelling… Comprehension… Punctuation…


 

Whatever angle you’re coming at it from, (or whatever you choose to call it!) the various key disciplines around what is traditionally known as ‘English’ are the bedrock of learning at Thomas Jolyffe from Day One. Right from when they are born, children that are spoken to, engaged with, read to and taught are set up for successful learning.

 

We have outlined some details around our approach to delivering the English curriculum on these pages. We hope they are a useful guide. If you have questions about any of these please feel free to contact me at phipps.b1@welearn365.com - If your questions relate to a specific class or teacher’s approach, please contact them in the first instance.

 

Best wishes,

Ben Phipps

English Subject Leader

Thomas Jolyffe Primary School is determined for all pupils to succeed. Since the previous inspection, many changes have been made. The school has prioritised the development of the curriculum to promote high expectations for all pupils. Staff invest in pupils to build positive relationships with them. Personal development is a strength. The school provides opportunities to enrich pupils’ experiences. Pupils value participating in sporting competitions, such as cross country, football and netball. They also take on positions of responsibility, including school councillors and inclusion champions. Pupils value the leadership skills that they are developing. The school has developed an inclusive environment, where all pupils participate in every aspect of school life. Recently, the school has had a new library. The pupils are very proud of it and say, ‘It is a reading wonderland. It is like walking into another world.’ (OFSTED April 2024)
