All Knowsley schools follow the National Literacy Strategy Framework for the teaching of English. This includes:

• Speaking
• Listening
• Reading
• Writing
• Spelling
• Sentence level skills [grammer]

Pupils take part in daily literacy lessons lasting approximately one hour and are taught in whole-class and small-group settings as well as working independently. In addition, reading and writing skills should be practised and embedded across all other areas of a wide and creative curriculum.

National age-related expectations mean that schools aim to support children in reaching level 2 by the end of Key Stage 1 and level 4 by the end of Key Stage 2.
