English
Keep up with all the amazing learning in English through your child's Seesaw and also our school Facebook page.
The theme for this year's Writing Week will be Biographies and using questions to find out information about someone else. You will see some of outcomes from this week on Seesaw and on our school Facebook page.
Previously we have covered themes such as Playscripts were pupils created and acted out their own Longcause dramas; 'All About Me', where pupils contributed towards a 50th Anniversary book with each page being about a pupil at Longcause 50 years on from its first day, and 'British Values'.
Further success at Key Stage 4 with 2 Year 11 pupils achieving well in GCSE English. Also all of our Year 11 pupils achieved Functional Skills English between entry level 2 and Level 2 (2 pupils at EL2, 6 pupils at EL3, 6 pupils at Level 1 and 3 pupils at Level 2) - Fantastic!
(for more information on this, please see our curriculum and assessment policy - https://www.longcausespecialschool.com/policies/)
In addition to English learning across the curriculum, English sessions take place daily and pupils engage in reading based learning on a daily basis. Reading is a whole school priority and we measure progress in reading in several ways to get a much more accurate picture of each child as a reader.
At KS4 pupils follow a Functional approach to English and Year 11 pupils will leave with an accredited outcome in English Functional Skills which will range from Entry Level 1 through to Level 2.
Thank you for your Book Fair purchases - look what we achieved!
