We teach English by following the Literacy Tree. Literacy Tree is a complete, thematic approach to the teaching of primary English that places children’s literature at its core. We are immensely proud that our school has been chosen as one of only 17 Literacy Tree Flagship School for our innovative use of the book-based approach across our school.

“Our Flagship Schools have been chosen for their innovative use of our book-based approach across the curriculum. They have adopted and adapted our planning sequences to complement their own topics or use our themes. Our flagship schools enjoy sharing how they have used the sequences to support engagement and raise attainment in English…….. https://literacytree.com/flagship-schools/

Literacy Tree is an award-winning platform which has designed a curriculum which immerses children in a literary world, therefore creating strong levels of engagement to provide meaningful and authentic contexts for primary English.

 

Children become critical readers and acquire an authorial style as they encounter a wide-range of significant authors and a variety of diverse fiction, non-fiction and poetry.

 

As a whole-school approach, children explore at least 100 literary texts and experience over 75 unique significant authors as they move through the school.

 

It provides complete coverage of all National Curriculum expectations for writing composition, reading comprehension, grammar, punctuation, and vocabulary, as well as coverage of spelling. All plans lead to purposeful application within a wide variety of written outcomes.

 

At our school, the Literacy Tree texts are mapped out to ensure progression and National Curriculum coverage across all year groups.
