Through the English curriculum, pupils develop the skills they need to communicate effectively, express themselves creatively and engage critically with the world around them. At Samlesbury, we aim to foster a love of language and literature, alongside teaching the technical skills needed to read fluently, write confidently and speak articulately in a range of contexts. Our English curriculum is underpinned by the National Curriculum for England, ensuring that all pupils: - read fluently and with understanding; - write clearly, accurately and creatively for a range of purposes and audiences; - use spoken language confidently to express ideas, ask questions and participate in discussion. The links below provide information about how English is taught across our school, including our approaches to reading, writing and spoken English (Oracy). Further information about our phonics provision can be found on the phonics page. | [![](https://samlesbury-ce-primary-school.schudio.com/images/pages/b77f4036cccaaf77ed105a3cba1b773f.png)](https://samlesbury-ce-primary-school.schudio.com/curriculum/english/reading) | [![](https://samlesbury-ce-primary-school.schudio.com/images/pages/fd2658c4db6e87a605d08e42d63fa6e6.png)](https://samlesbury-ce-primary-school.schudio.com/curriculum/english/writing) | [![](https://samlesbury-ce-primary-school.schudio.com/images/pages/35c3afeae06a76512e34d9a24b4bc7b0.png)](https://samlesbury-ce-primary-school.schudio.com/curriculum/english/phonics) | [![](https://samlesbury-ce-primary-school.schudio.com/images/pages/373bf8b64e06f8cdc7d30373a4c310aa.png)](https://samlesbury-ce-primary-school.schudio.com/curriculum/english/speaking-and-listening) | |---|---|---|---| ##### Location Potters Lane Samlesbury Preston Lancs PR50UE ##### Contact Us 01772 877200 ##### Stay Connected - [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100086396911494) - [Governor and Staff Portal](https://samlesbury-ce-primary-school.schudio.com/governor-and-staff-portal) - [Calendar](https://samlesbury-ce-primary-school.schudio.com/calendar) © Copyright 2018–2026 Samlesbury CE Primary School School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://samlesbury-ce-primary-school.schudio.com/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
