Introduction

Our English curriculum nurtures confident readers, writers, and communicators. At Palm Global Academy, we believe language is a powerful tool for expression and understanding. Pupils explore a wide range of texts, including stories, poetry, and informational writing, while developing comprehension and critical thinking skills. Writing lessons focus on creativity and clarity, teaching children to structure ideas effectively and use rich vocabulary. Speaking and listening activities encourage collaboration and articulate expression, ensuring pupils can communicate thoughtfully and confidently in all settings.

Core skills pupils will learn:

  • Reading: Read a wide range of texts fluently, including fiction, non-fiction, and poetry; develop inference and prediction skills.
  • Writing: Write for different purposes—stories, reports, letters—using accurate grammar, punctuation, and varied vocabulary.
  • Spelling and Vocabulary: Learn spelling patterns, prefixes, suffixes, and expand vocabulary for precise expression.
  • Grammar and Punctuation: Use complex sentences, correct verb tenses, and punctuation such as commas, apostrophes, and speech marks.
  • Speaking and Listening: Engage in discussions, presentations, and debates to build confidence and clarity in communication.
  • Comprehension: Understand themes, characters, and ideas in texts, and respond thoughtfully.
