To celebrate International Literacy Day, Bloxwich Academy are promoting the 16 by 16 challenge to emphasise the importance of literacy and the power knowledge, reading ability and being literate can have on individuals and their future and how they can shape our society.
To support the 16 by 16 challenge, please also see our English curriculum. We ensure our English curriculum enables pupils to access the knowledge needed to read critically and write imaginatively, adapting for a variety of forms. Pupils will develop a love of reading through a variety of increasingly challenging texts. We ensure that the broad skills of language, structural and contextual analysis are integrated and built within our curriculum, and across each year. We do this through a diverse variety of topics and genres (fiction and non-fiction).
