The staff develop pupils’ spoken language, reading, writing and vocabulary as integral aspects of the teaching of every subject. English is both a subject in its own right and the medium for teaching; for pupils, understanding the language provides access to the whole curriculum.** **At St Matthew’s the teaching of English encompasses the following:** **- Spoken Language (speaking and listening) \- Reading \- Writing \- Spelling, Grammar and Punctuation** **We have tried to ensure that throughout school children will encounter a wide range of narrative, non-fiction and poetry texts.** **On this page you will find out what each class is learning in English throughout the year.** ### English Intent, Implementation and Impact English Intent, Implementation and Impact 160 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/st-matthew-s-cofe-primary/files/documents/English_Intent,_Implementation,_Impact.pdf) ### English Policy English Policy 292 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/st-matthew-s-cofe-primary/files/documents/English_Policy.pdf) ### Our English Overviews Year 1 Overview 3.31 MB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/st-matthew-s-cofe-primary/files/documents/Y1_English_Curriculum_Map_Y1_2025-26.docx.pdf) Year 2 Overview 3.62 MB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/st-matthew-s-cofe-primary/files/documents/Y2_English_Curriculum_Map_Y2_2025-26.docx.pdf) Year 3 Overview 2.14 MB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/st-matthew-s-cofe-primary/files/documents/Y3_English_Curriculum_Map_Y3_2025-26.docx.pdf) Year 4 Overview 2.74 MB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/st-matthew-s-cofe-primary/files/documents/Y4_English_Curriculum_Map_Y4_2024-25.docx.pdf) Year 5 Overview 2.79 MB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/st-matthew-s-cofe-primary/files/documents/Y5_English_Curriculum_Map_Y5_2024-25.docx_(1).pdf) Year 6 Overview 1.40 MB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/st-matthew-s-cofe-primary/files/documents/Y6_English_Curriculum_Map_Y6_2025-26.docx.pdf) ### Key Information - [Ofsted and SIAMS Reports](https://www.stmatthewspreston.co.uk/key-information/ofsted) - [Academy Results](https://www.stmatthewspreston.co.uk/key-information/academy-results) - [Policies](https://www.stmatthewspreston.co.uk/key-information/policies) - [Pupil Premium](https://www.stmatthewspreston.co.uk/key-information/pupil-premium) - [Sports Premium](https://www.stmatthewspreston.co.uk/key-information/sports-premium) - [SEND](https://www.stmatthewspreston.co.uk/key-information/send) - [Governance](https://www.stmatthewspreston.co.uk/about-us/meet-the-governors) - [Safeguarding ](https://www.stmatthewspreston.co.uk/key-information/safeguarding) - [COVID Catch-Up Premium](https://www.stmatthewspreston.co.uk/coronavirus-covid-19/catch-up-premium-plan) - [Attendance](https://www.stmatthewspreston.co.uk/parents/attendance) - [![Artsmark Award](https://files.schudio.com/st-matthew-s-cofe-primary/images/partners/Am_Schl_Gld_RGB.jpg)](https://st-matthewscofe.lancs.sch.uk/about-us/our-awards) - [![EAL Quality Mark](https://files.schudio.com/st-matthew-s-cofe-primary/images/partners/EAL_Silver.jpg)](https://st-matthewscofe.lancs.sch.uk/about-us/our-awards) - [![Halo Code](https://files.schudio.com/st-matthew-s-cofe-primary/images/partners/halo_code.jpg)](https://st-matthewscofe.lancs.sch.uk/about-us/our-awards) ##### Location New Hall Lane Preston Lancashire PR1 5XB ##### Contact Us 01772 794482 ##### Stay Connected - [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61587761925215) - [X](https://x.com/mackley_ma56490) © Copyright 2018–2026 St Matthew's Church of England Primary Academy and Nursery School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://www.stmatthewspreston.co.uk/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
