Dickens Heath Community Primary School
Enabling every child to be the best version of themselves
English
The intent (what we intend to teach) of the English curriculum can be seen in the DHCPS English Policy and the Long Term plan which is aligned to the aims and objectives of the National Curriculum. This should be read alongside our whole school curriculum policy which details our whole school curriculum offer, how we are committed to and seek to achieve a broad and balanced, knowledge rich curriculum and why we teach using the methods that we use which are summarised in Rosenshine's 'Principles of effective instruction.'
