At Chesterfield we provide an engaging and innovative English curriculum that promotes high standards of language and literacy by equipping children with the skills to read, speak and write fluently. 

It is our intention when teaching the English curriculum is that our pupils acquire the necessary knowledge, skills and understanding to become lifelong learners and linguists. We strive to ensure that all our pupils receive a well-rounded learning experience when reading, writing, speaking and listening, which will equip them with the fundamental tools to achieve in primary school and beyond. It is our intention to immerse pupils in the wonders of quality texts to instil a love for reading, a passion for discovery and a confidence to explore their imagination.
