English

At Newton Village Academy we believe the use of English in spoken and written form is the foundation of all learning, and that a secure basis in literacy skills will give the children the tools they need to communicate effectively and creatively in society.  It is therefore essential that all children are given an early confidence and ability in the use of language to enable them to access the whole curriculum.

We encourage children to love English and become confident speakers, readers and writers. We provide high quality fun English experiences that give our children a deep understanding of all aspects of the English curriculum.
