Curriculum: We provide the children with a wide and varied curriculum
designed to engage, challenge and promote a positive attitude to learning.

English at Bolton Parish Church CE School:

At Bolton Parish Church School we follow a text based approach to learning in
English. Pupils in all classes study a range of short stories, novels, poems and non-

fiction texts which are used as a basis to teach skills in reading and writing.

Children also study additional texts in guided reading and are also encouraged to

read texts at home. There are also additional lessons to teach grammar skills and
spelling and phonics.

Phonics is taught using the Read, Write Inc scheme to all children in EYFS and KS1

and to children in KS2 if this is appropriate.

Children are taught handwriting using the Nelson Handwriting scheme. This begins

with correct letter formations in EYFS and children are encouraged to begin joining
letters from Year 1.

All children have a reading book to take home and are expected to read at home
each night.
