KS5 Long Term Planning: English English planning and delivery will include phonics throughout, and will focus on continuing to develop and embed their knowledge and key skills practised in KS4. Students will be encouraged to develop culturally, emotionally, intellectually, socially and spiritually through a wide variety of texts and digital literacy. Students will be encouraged to apply their skills in reading, writing and the spoken language into functional tasks and activities within their local community, and within the class room to help them develop confidence and self-esteem, and work towards gaining the skills needed for their future endeavours. Students will have access to differentiated accreditation opportunities and this will be used as a means of demonstrating student progress and achievement. The planning will include community visits and be taught in a cross curricular way linking in with a range of other subjects. Throughout our English curriculum there will be focus that supports students to develop skills such as CV writing, interview skills, making phone calls, using technology for research and communicative purposes to prepare them for future employment opportunities where appropriate.
