At Haslingden High School, we aim to create 21st century learners, who will be successful in their future field of work. To fulfil their potential, students need to communicate confidently through writing and speech; they must listen carefully and be able to understand the written word.
All members of our school community support the drive to raise standards of literacy by having consistently high expectations:
- Curriculum areas teach literacy through schemes of work which include specific literacy objectives.
- Subject teachers mark students’ work for errors in spelling, punctuation and grammar.
- Every member of staff promotes reading for pleasure by displaying what they are currently reading outside their classroom or office.
- Our whole school community takes part in reading every week to increase reading ages and develop students’ vocabulary and confidence.
