English
At Mount Street Primary School, we develop the children's conceptual knowledge and understanding through 'Big Ideas' which develop both in depth and knowledge as the children progress through the school. At Mount Street we believe that a quality English curriculum should develop children’s love of reading, writing and talk. We have a rigorous and well organised English curriculum that provides many purposeful opportunities for reading, writing and talk throughout all we do.
