Our Curriculum Intent

The aim of the English curriculum at Fulston Manor is to engage our students in the study of English Language and Literature, helping to foster and develop their interest in all aspects of the written and spoken word. Through the course of their time at Fulston Manor students will encounter texts from a range of authors, time periods and cultural contexts, allowing them to broaden their understanding of the world around them. It is our passionate belief that students will benefit hugely from developing their reading, writing and speaking skills and we hope to cultivate in students a passion for the study of English.
