Home > Learning  > The Coleridge Curriculum > English

Coleridge offers a broad, balanced and creative English curriculum, focussed on achieving excellent standards in reading, writing and communication in all learners.

Rich texts, newspaper articles, drama, debate, podcasts, and video clips are all used to fire interest and enthusiasm in young writers, and to development a sense of ‘media literacy’ where children learn to question and critique all that they see and read. The complex grammatical and compositional aspects of writing are taught in a structured fashion using elements of Pie Corbett’s renowned ‘Talk 4 Writing’ programme, whilst children’s individual creativity and imagination is always the driving force behind any piece of writing.

To view the curriculum map your child is following in English, please see the relevant year group page.
