Focus on English

Writing at Hope Brook

At Hope Brook C of E Primary School, we provide a high-quality education in English to enable pupils to speak and write fluently so that they can communicate their ideas and emotions to others, in line with the National Curriculum. We believe that writing is a powerful tool for communication, creativity and self-expression. Our intention is to develop confident, imaginative and articulate writers who can share their ideas with clarity and purpose. Through consistent practice and positive encouragement, we strive to empower every child to see themselves as a writer.

Reading at Hope Brook

At Hope Brook, we are passionate about nurturing confident, fluent readers who develop a lifelong love of reading. Following on from our Early Reading programme, in Key Stage 2, reading continues to be a central focus. Our reading provision is designed to ensure every child becomes a fluent, confident reader through expert teaching and timely intervention. We cultivate a love of reading by exposing pupils to a wide range of engaging, inclusive literature. We focus on developing comprehension, vocabulary and critical thinking through structured lessons and meaningful dialogue. Our aim is for every child to leave primary school  — not just able to read - but choosing to read, and thriving because of it.
