At Meryfield, we are passionate in our aim to help the children become articulate and imaginative communicators, who are well-equipped with the basic skills they need to become life-long learners. We believe that the key to this lies in our teaching of English.
We want our children to become fluent and competent readers who read for pleasure and develop the stamina to comprehend longer and more challenging texts as they move through the school. In writing, it is our aim that the children write with confidence and accuracy for a variety of purposes and audiences. We want them to develop their own individual flair whilst maintaining rigour in terms of grammatical accuracy, spelling and presentation. As a core life- skill, we want our children to be able to speak clearly and confidently and to work collaboratively with peers to express and share thoughts.
