    Language, Literacy and Communication

    Stories and poetry are voyages of discovery which provide rich learning contexts and meaningful experiences for our pupils. With this in mind, our curriculum, across all AoLEs is creative and literature-rich. Drama enhances learning opportunities by providing imaginative possibilities. Through drama, scenarios can be created which present problems and explore the deeper implications of the texts. Narrative through drama helps pupils to understand life situations, their place in the World and the reactions of others: a cognitive dimension, helping our learners, not only to express their emotions but to empathise with others.
