English

Ormiston Cliff Park Primary Academy follows the National Curriculum to teach English.

Vision:

At Ormiston Cliff Park Primary Academy, we aim to provide a high-quality geography education that inspires pupils to develop a deep understanding of the world around them — both locally and globally. Through exploring diverse places, people, resources and natural and human environments, pupils will gain knowledge of the Earth’s key physical and human processes. We strive to spark curiosity about the world, encouraging pupils to ask questions, think critically and appreciate the interconnectedness of our planet. By understanding the challenges and opportunities faced by communities around the world, pupils will be empowered to become responsible global citizens and stewards of the environment. At Ormiston Cliff Park Primary Academy, we believe that English is the key to unlocking every child’s potential- we see reading and writing both as essential life skills and a lifelong source of inspiration and enjoyment. We aim to develop confident, fluent communicators who can read widely and ambitiously, write creatively and purposefully and speak with clarity and consideration of others’ views. Through a rich and varied curriculum, pupils explore high-quality texts that inspire imagination, deepen understanding and build empathy. We nurture a love of language and storytelling, encouraging every child to find their voice and express themselves with confidence. Our teaching of English equips pupils with the skills to think critically, listen carefully and engage thoughtfully with the world around them — empowering them to become lifelong readers, writers and learners.
