English

English sits at the heart of our curriculum. From the earliest years, pupils develop strong foundations in speaking, listening, grammar, reading, and creative writing.

Children explore a wide variety of texts and genres, learning to write with clarity and imagination. Guided reading, discussion, and drama help build confidence, fluency, and critical thinking.

At The Old School Henstead, every child is encouraged to find their voice—an approach that supports families seeking high-quality independent schooling in Suffolk.
