English enriches all other areas, as it is key to all, in both school and society and it facilitates the acquisition of knowledge. Communication allows ideas and emotions to be conveyed and it allows individuals to develop culturally, emotionally, intellectually, spiritually and socially.

1. Reading, including phonics and reading comprehension
2. Writing, including handwriting and spelling, grammar and punctuation (SPaG)
3. Speaking and Listening
