RETURN TO P-SCALE INDEX

 

Learning English encompasses all aspects of communication – non-verbal, verbal and written. Work in English promotes learning across the curriculum and underpins pupils’ achievements and participation in all aspects of their lives.

The Ingot's English P scales provide learners with the opportunity to:

• develop the ability to respond, to listen and to understand
• interact and communicate effectively with others in a range of social situations
• make choices, obtain information, question and be actively involved in decision making
• develop creativity and imagination
• have access to a wide range of literature to enrich and broaden their experience

 

In response to these opportunities, pupils can make progress in English by:

• using a wide variety of activities, which are age-related, especially where aspects of the programmes of study are revisited at later key stages
• increasing engagement in, and the quality of, a range of literature and communication activities
• a widening of horizons and participation from the immediate social circles of family and school, to an extended participation in the local and wider community
• adapting to different circumstances and contexts with independence and confidence
• acquiring an increasing range of vocabulary, from the names of everyday objects, events and people, to vocabulary used across the curriculum and related to the wider community
