Area of Learning Experience Vision

At Evenlode, we believe that strong communication skills are at the heart of successful learning. Through our Languages, Literacy and Communication curriculum, we aim to ensure that all pupils make meaningful progress in English oracy, reading and writing, alongside developing confidence and fluency in spoken Welsh.

We strive to foster a love of language by creating engaging opportunities for pupils to read widely, write purposefully and discuss ideas thoughtfully. We want all learners to become confident communicators who can express themselves clearly, listen respectfully and engage effectively with others.

We are committed to promoting a positive Welsh-speaking culture where the language is valued, celebrated and used naturally throughout school life. By providing meaningful opportunities to speak Welsh, we aim to build pupils’ confidence, fluency and pride in using the language.

Through our Languages, Literacy and Communication curriculum, we aim to develop confident communicators who enjoy reading, write with purpose, express themselves clearly and take pride in using both English and Welsh.

Literacy at Evenlode is taught through high quality novels, non fiction text and pictures books. Each year group from Year 2 up will have a novel or non fiction text for the half term, that will be their focus text. Pupils will work on developing their reading, writing and oracy skills using this as the hook for their learning. 

Reception and Year 1 will use picture books weekly as the hook for their literacy, with all books being linked to the half termly topic.
