The key aim of Literacy is for our children to be able to communicate their ideas clearly to different audiences for different purposes whether verbally or in written form, and to value their work and the work of others. 

At Parkgate we aim to inspire a lifelong love of reading through planning engaging Literacy lessons based around carefully selected classroom texts and ensuring children have access to our beautiful library filled with high quality books by authors of all backgrounds. 

We want our children to be inspired to share their own stories and ideas with others and to take pride in writing for different purposes. Through our focus on Literacy in all areas of the curriculum, we want our children to value accurate use of subject specific language when expressing themselves to others.
