Welcome to our English curriculum!

At Victory Heights Primary School, we believe that the study of English is essential for the development of strong communication skills and the ability to think critically. Our English curriculum is designed to challenge students to become active readers, effective writers, and confident speakers. We offer a wide range of literature, explore various fictional and non fictional stories and expose students to different cultures and perspectives. Through creative teaching methods and a modern spin on the curriculum, pupils actively take part in research, drama, poetry, creative writing and role play which helps prepare our students to be more confident and effective lifelong learners. Through rich development of these skills, from the earliest stages, we invest in children’s confidence, their love of reading and creativity to nurture excellence in English.

From FS1 to Y6 our learning is based around focus texts which capture the interest of our children, develop their general knowledge and provide them with the rich vocabulary needed to become enthused writers. We heavily invest in deliberate vocabulary development to ensure our students are able to engage in lively debate and provide well reasoned arguments. We encourage a love of learning through imaginative off-road weeks which are designed to inspire magic, wonder and awe for all ages. Our teachers are passionate about English and share their own reading habits with our children. Reading for pleasure is encouraged and incentivised through our school Reading Passport scheme which helps develop the range of books our children read both within and out with school. 

As active participants in the Dubai Oracy Hub we encourage our children to share their thoughts, opinions and ideas with others across the region. Hosting and attending a range of events designed to challenge and engage learners in the spoken word.
