Language in all its forms - speaking and listening, reading and writing - is integral to a child’s ability to access the whole curriculum and wider life-skills beyond school and as such is given high priority. At Wilberforce Primary we provide a wide range of learning experiences, giving children the opportunity to develop reading strategies and to read for a variety of purposes, including enjoyment; write in a range of styles and read for a variety of purposes; speak confidently in a range of contexts and develop focused listening skills. We help our pupils to express themselves creatively and imaginatively and to understand how language works by looking at its patterns, structures and origins.
