English
At Holy Cross, pupils will find a rich and stimulating language environment, where speaking and listening, reading and writing are integrated.
We aim for our pupils to become confident, competent and expressive users of the language with a developing knowledge of how it works.
Through our English Curriculum, pupils will become reflective users of language, able to analyse and evaluate what they read.
Film, news extracts and documentaries are used regularly in literacy. These offer the opportunities to explore different genres, whilst engaging and invovlving all.
