Curriculum Intent

At Bradford Girls’ Grammar School, we believe that strong language and literacy skills are at the centre of all learning. A high-quality education in English will teach pupils to speak and write fluently and through reading and listening, they can communicate with their peers and others. The aim for English is to promote high standards of language and literacy by equipping pupils with a strong command of the spoken and written word and to develop their love of literature through widespread reading for enjoyment. We challenge students to become critical thinkers by being exposed to a range of ambitious text choices and empower them through language to become articulate, confident and open-minded individuals. We believe that English is especially positioned to develop students culturally, emotionally and spiritually in order for them to make a positive contribution to the wider community.
