English

We put reading and writing at the heart of everything we do at King Athelstan and are very proud of our English curriculum. Over the years we have developed a rich and engaging English programme, linked to curriculum topics, classic literature and modern picture books, ensuring progress and enjoyment for all. Our cyclical planning structure supports vocabulary development and scaffolds children to be successful in their own writing by providing excellent models of both fiction and non-fiction examples.
