At Enfield Academy we are fostering a culture where oracy skills are a priority, creating classrooms that are talk-rich environments, and empowering all students, especially those who need it most, to find their voice and become agents of positive change.
At Enfield Academy, we believe that reading is the foundation of learning, confidence, and joy. Phonics is taught systematically and inclusively, giving every child the tools to decode, spell, and access the written word. Reading lessons build fluency, comprehension, and vocabulary, helping pupils to understand, question, and enjoy a wide range of texts. We prioritise reading for pleasure, creating time, space, and celebration around books that spark imagination and empathy. Our classrooms are rich in stories, and our children are encouraged to choose, share, and talk about what they read. We have recently proudly achieved the Bronze Reading Pledge, recognising our commitment to nurturing a culture of reading across the school.

Reading at Enfield
Writing at primary level should be purposeful, imaginative, and rooted in rich language experiences. At Enfield Academy, we champion this through the Writing for Purpose approach, using high-quality texts to inspire children to write with clarity, creativity, and intent. Our spelling curriculum is supported by the Scode scheme, ensuring consistent, systematic development of spelling knowledge across all year groups. In EYFS, children begin their journey with Drawing Club, where storytelling and illustration spark early writing and language. As they move into Year 1, they progress to Curious Quests, building narrative structure, vocabulary, and stamina through playful, purposeful writing. This carefully sequenced approach ensures every child becomes a confident, expressive writer with the tools to communicate and create.
