At Redgate, we are all skilled readers, competent speakers and confident writers!
Our curriculum develops children’s love of reading, as well as highly skilled writing and oracy skills. We believe that this will prepare them for life as successful, valuable and socially responsible global citizens.
We nurture a culture where children take pride in their writing, can write clearly, imaginatively and accurately and adapt their language and style for a range of contexts. We inspire children to be confident in the art of speaking and listening and to use discussion to communicate and further their learning in all areas of the curriculum.
We teach children the importance of reading and a love of books from the moment they enter Redgate and this is built upon throughout their primary years. Reading is at the heart of our curriculum and is interwoven into everything that we do.
