Introduction
At St Andrew’s School (Junior), the English Department is committed to nurturing passionate, confident, and capable users of the English language. Language is at the heart of how we connect with others, explore ideas, and express who we are. We believe that when children develop strong literacy skills, they gain not only academic tools, but also the voice to shape their world.
Our Vision
Every Saint, an empathetic communicator, discerning reader and creative inquirer.
Our Mission
To inspire the love for language through positive role models and rich, school-wide experiences that bring language to life.
Our English curriculum is anchored in STELLAR 2.0—Strategies for English Language Learning and Reading—a national framework that builds strong language and reading foundations through carefully chosen texts and scaffolded strategies. Alongside this, our approach is guided by three core principles: promoting multiliteracies, cultivating metacognition, and encouraging inquiry through dialogue. These principles equip our students to navigate a world of diverse texts, think deeply about their learning, and communicate meaningfully with others.
Signature Programmes
English Week
This week-long celebration of English is packed with fun and engaging activities, from poetry recitations and storytelling sessions to language games and book buzzes. Through these, students experience the joy of language beyond the classroom and discover the power of words in new and exciting ways.
Through our curriculum and programmes, the English Department remains steadfast in creating a language-rich environment where Saints can explore, inquire, and grow. With every story read, discussion held, and idea written down, we empower our students to become lifelong learners and confident speakers ready for the world beyond school.
