Parent ReviewWhy Primary English Matters
Strong English skills affect far more than one subject. Reading, writing and comprehension influence learning across the whole curriculum.
Confidence with English supports every stage of education
When pupils struggle with English in primary school, it can affect confidence in homework, tests and classroom participation. Early support helps build the literacy foundations needed for secondary school.
