At Capel Primary School we strive to ensure that every child should become a competent and confident user of the English language: able to live, work and succeed in a literate world where they have the ability and skills to be all they can be. In the 21st Century this means being able to communicate effectively, expressing ideas and opinions both orally and through various media. Children will develop the skills which will enable them to understand and make informed decisions by interpreting and analysing information using various critical literacy skills. They will have the skills, knowledge and understanding to be creative, self-reflective, independent and confident in their own ability to collaborate and build positive relationships with others.
All spelling patterns for each year group can be found in the Literacy New Curriculum.
