Vision
Belvedere Infant School
Our English leader is Mrs Box
At Belvedere Infant School, we promote a love of reading, writing and drama, as well as equipping children with the phonetical, comprehension, spelling, grammar and punctuation skills needed to be adept and fluent readers and writers. Literacy is covered through all subjects due to a more thematic, child centred approach, which has been introduced through the International Primary Curriculum (IPC).
Belvedere Junior School
Cross-Curricular Literacy Opportunities
We teach the full National Curriculum for English. The skills that children are taught in Literacy underpin all other subjects. They enable pupils to communicate and express themselves in all areas of their work. Teachers will always make cross-curricular links wherever appropriate and will plan for pupils to apply the skills, knowledge and understanding that they have acquired during Literacy to other areas of the curriculum.
Vocabularly/SPAG
A good spelling programme gradually builds pupils’ spelling vocabulary therefore, when children enter Key Stage 2 they will have daily CUSP spelling lessons.
In Year 6 children are required to take a ‘Spelling, Punctuation and Grammar’ test. We endeavour to prepare children for this test as early as possible and therefore make spelling and grammar a key priority in all curriculum areas.
