At Delves Junior School, our English curriculum is based around high quality texts (fiction, non-fiction and poetry). Through these texts children explore language and improve their reading and writing skills. The texts and lessons are taken from the age-appropriate Wordsmith scheme that ensures clear progression through the standards and expectations of the National Curriculum. This curriculum is focussed on ensuring children have a secure knowledge of language and of the necessary grammar and punctuation skills while providing a range of opportunities to be creative.
