At Old Hutton, we are committed to providing a high-quality English curriculum that inspires and engages our students. One of the key elements of our approach is the use of high-quality texts as a stimulus for learning.
We believe that exposing students to a wide range of texts, including literature, non-fiction, and poetry, not only enhances their reading skills but also nurtures their creativity, critical thinking, and communication abilities. By immersing students in rich and diverse literary experiences, we aim to foster a lifelong love for reading and writing.
Our carefully selected texts are chosen to challenge and captivate students, encouraging them to explore different genres, styles, and perspectives. These texts serve as a springboard for discussions, analysis, and interpretation, allowing students to develop their understanding and appreciation of language and literature.
Through the exploration of high-quality texts, our students develop their writing skills, as they learn to emulate the techniques and styles of accomplished authors. They also learn to read as writers, analysing the choices made by authors and applying these insights to their own writing.
We firmly believe that a strong foundation in English is essential for success across the curriculum and in life beyond school. By using high-quality texts as a stimulus, we provide our students with the tools they need to become confident readers, articulate speakers, and skilled writers.
