Our Vision for English at Beech Hill

At Beech Hill we believe English forms the basis for our development, relationships and our understanding of the world around us. The study of English is key to our personal growth and, through the development of effective written and spoken communication, it is the foundation for all our learning. The ability to communicate effectively, confidently and with clarity is crucial in school, but also in becoming an effective participant in our wider society with skills of communication being key to accessing the world of work and in navigating adult life. In a fast paced, global world the importance of fluent written and spoken English is crucial and it is essential that we develop these skills through an effective English curriculum.

At Beech Hill, we strive to help our children develop into confident and imaginative communicators, who are well-equipped with the basic skills they need to become life-long learners. Learning English is key in this.
