ENGLISH

Key Stage 2

Our Vision for English at Knaphill School

“Words are our most inexhaustible source of magic”- J.K. Rowling.

“Description begins in the writer’s imagination, but should finish in the reader’s” – Stephen King.

The above inspirational quotes perfectly capture our vision for English at Knaphill School.

We desire for all of our children to be curious and creative when it comes to both reading and writing. To be driven by the need to read and the desire to write. Our children recognise that “Reading is a passport to countless adventures”. Our children delve into new worlds and new genres and, therefore, have the thirst to recognise that the world of our imagination is boundless and can be captured through the sharing of our writing.

With confidence and pride, our children are provided with opportunities to share their writing to a variety of audiences: recordings, through public speaking, through performance and drama, through the sharing of our ‘English at Knaphill’ Magazine and through reading aloud to peers and adults.
We desire for our children to experience the great and wonderful purpose of writing.
