English
At Delves Infant and Nursery School we teach high quality English skills that provide children with a voice to share their ideas with the world. The English curriculum is intrinsic to education as it entails the teaching of how to speak, read and write fluently and confidently, to ensure a child’s development into a participating and productive member of society. The English curriculum aims to ‘...promote high standards of language and literacy by equipping pupils with a strong command of the spoken and written word, and to deliver their love of literature through widespread reading for enjoyment’ (DFE, 2014).
