Reading Intent

At St James’ C of E Junior School, we believe that all pupils should have the opportunity to be fluent, confident readers who are able to successfully comprehend and access the wider curriculum, and the outside world.  

Writing Intent

We believe that all pupils should be able to confidently communicate their knowledge, ideas and emotions through their writing. We want pupils to acquire a wide vocabulary, a solid understanding of grammar and be able to spell new words by effectively applying the spelling patterns and rules they learn throughout their time in primary school.
