Through a variety of activities, children develop their skills in speaking, listening, reading and writing – the principal components of National Curriculum English. Encouraging a love of books is central to the teaching of English. Children have access to the Prep Library Resource Centre, from which they may choose books that interest them, from a wide range of fiction and non-fiction. Year 6 also have their own dedicated Library in Trinity House, where they can find a selection of books appropriate to their age range. Opportunities also exist for children in Years 5 and 6 to become Librarians and Library Assistants.
