--- title: "English" url: "https://corpusprimaryleeds.org/curriculum/english" school: "Corpus Christi Catholic Primary School" --- # English At Corpus Christi we aim to develop children’s confidence and enjoyment of writing by giving them a purpose to write. Alongside teaching technical skills - spelling, grammar and handwriting - we aim to nurture their creativity and passion. Children enjoy writing at Corpus Christi and we ensure this happens by having a variety of approaches to writing. Children learn stories and non-fiction pieces prior to structuring their own writing based on ones they have learned. We provide children with opportunities to dramatise their ideas and perform which gives them an in depth understanding of characters and plots which they can then draw upon when writing. Links are made across the curriculum to connect learning and make writing meaningful. Our children are effective readers. By teaching phonic knowledge and spelling patterns, children blend and segment words to gain meaning from texts.Children quickly become confident and consolidate this learning in a practical context playing games, using sounds and engaging in spelling investigations. These skills are woven into a curriculum which promotes a love of reading and places an emphasis on learning to read early which then allows our children to read to learn. We use high quality texts and ensure children are exposed to a variety of text types and authors to allow then to develop a love for books. ### English Writing Overview 862 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/corpus-christi-catholic-primary-school/files/documents/LTP_Year_B_2026-2027NEW.pdf) Reading Overview 517 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/corpus-christi-catholic-primary-school/files/documents/Reading_Overview_Whole_School.pdf) Grammar LTP 161 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/corpus-christi-catholic-primary-school/files/documents/Grammar_LTP.pdf) Spelling Overview 127 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/corpus-christi-catholic-primary-school/files/documents/Spelling_Whole_School_Overview.pdf) Spoken Language LTP 115 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/corpus-christi-catholic-primary-school/files/documents/Spoken_Language_LTP_2025-2026.pdf) Poetry LTP 293 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/corpus-christi-catholic-primary-school/files/documents/Poetry_LTP_2025_-_2026.pdf) Letter Join - Handwriting Policy 409 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/corpus-christi-catholic-primary-school/files/documents/Letterjoin_Policy2.pdf) English Policy 257 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/corpus-christi-catholic-primary-school/files/documents/English_Policy_2025-2026.pdf) Reading Offer 745 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/corpus-christi-catholic-primary-school/files/documents/Reading_Offer_at_CCPS.pdf) EEF overview for Year 3 49 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/corpus-christi-catholic-primary-school/files/documents/EEF_OVERVIEW_FOR_WEBSITE.pdf) ### ### Curriculum - [Our Curriculum Offer](https://corpusprimaryleeds.org/curriculum/curriculum) - [Art and Design](https://corpusprimaryleeds.org/curriculum/art-and-design) - [Computing](https://corpusprimaryleeds.org/curriculum/computing) - [Design Technology](https://corpusprimaryleeds.org/curriculum/design-technology) - [English](https://corpusprimaryleeds.org/curriculum/english) - [Geography](https://corpusprimaryleeds.org/curriculum/geography) - [History](https://corpusprimaryleeds.org/curriculum/history) - [Maths](https://corpusprimaryleeds.org/curriculum/maths) - [Modern Foreign Languages](https://corpusprimaryleeds.org/curriculum/modern-foreign-languages) - [Music](https://corpusprimaryleeds.org/curriculum/music) - [PE](https://corpusprimaryleeds.org/curriculum/pe) - [PSHE](https://corpusprimaryleeds.org/curriculum/pshe) - [Religious Education Curriculum](https://corpusprimaryleeds.org/curriculum/religious-education) - [Science](https://corpusprimaryleeds.org/curriculum/science) - [Reading & Phonics](https://corpusprimaryleeds.org/curriculum/reading-phonics) - [![CEOP](https://files.schudio.com/corpus-christi-catholic-primary-school/images/partners/ceop-button(1).png)](https://www.ceop.police.uk/safety-centre/should-i-make-a-report-to-ceop-yp/) ##### Location Corpus Christi Catholic Primary School Halton Moor Avenue Leeds Yorkshire LS9 0HA ##### Contact Us 0113 2483095 ##### Stay Connected - [X](https://twitter.com/CCPrimaryLeeds) © Copyright 2019–2026 Corpus Christi Catholic Primary School School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://corpusprimaryleeds.org/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
