The English curriculum at Broom Cottages is designed to foster a love of reading that will last a lifetime and enable all pupils to communicate effectively through their writing and spoken language. To achieve this, pupils: 

• Explore and study texts which allow them to question, articulate and explore the work of a range of authors and illustrators. 
• Follow the highly successful Read, Write Inc. programme when learning to read.
• Listen to stories daily, including traditional tales and nursery rhymes for our younger pupils.  
• Perform and recite poetry and rhyme to parents, carers and the wider community. 
• Have opportunities to develop an understanding of the world through a range of high-quality non-fiction texts. 
• Meet and work with local authors. 
• Visit libraries and theatres. 
• Take part in writing competitions.
