Bracken Hill’s English curriculum is designed to be inclusive, accessible, and engaging for all learners, recognising the diverse needs of our students across our three pathways – explorers, adventurers and pioneers. Our intent is to develop communication, language, and literacy skills in a way that is meaningful and functional, enabling every student to access learning at their individual level and make progress in their personal development. To support progression, we follow, as far as possible, the Development Matters and Early Learning Goals and the National Curriculum, striving for pupils to achieve accreditations to prepare them for adulthood.  

We aim to provide a differentiated curriculum that meets the needs of all learners, ensuring appropriate challenge and support to maximize each student's potential using high-quality, engaging texts, including traditional tales, picture books, sensory stories, and real-life materials, to inspire curiosity and creativity

Our English curriculum is ambitious yet flexible, designed to celebrate each student's achievements while providing the foundational skills they need to access the wider world. Through a structured, holistic approach, we strive to empower our students to believe, achieve and enjoy.
