Chris Chapman, our Literacy Governor, visited school to look at current developments in the teaching of English.
"I visited the school on Wednesday to meet with Miss Morris and discuss the priorities for English in this Autumn Term. The main subject for discussion was the introduction of ‘Project X’ which is published by the Oxford University Press and provides an effective approach to teaching reading, comprehension and grammar that will inspire our children and improve and enhance their individual skills. Project X is a complete reading and writing tool with everything we need for the new curriculum. Having looked at some of the new superhero themed books it will not be too long before the children are talking about heroes to rival Batman and Superman!
"I also met with Mrs Mason (Year 6 English co-ordinator), whose class were avidly discussing the circumstances surrounding the ‘Blitz’, and Mrs Burks (Year1 English co-ordinator), whose class were excitedly preparing for the ‘Bear Hunt’.
"Exciting times as always at Hacton with teachers and pupils totally committed to excellence."
