At Woolhampton we aim to provide children with an exciting and ambitious curriculum that encourages them to be passionate about reading and writing.  We are dedicated to enabling all children fulfil their potential in becoming highly competent readers and purposeful writers by the time they move onto secondary school.  It is our intention to give children the opportunity to discover, explore and enjoy a wide range of quality texts that will inspire their love of reading and fuel their creative imaginations.  Through high quality teaching, we intend to expose children to a language rich environment where they learn to communicate effectively and confidentially through their speaking and writing.    

The Subject Leader for English is Mrs Cox.
