Our school embraces a dynamic English curriculum that combines the expertise of both local and native English teachers in every P.1, 2 lesson and also two P.3-6 lessons per week. We are committed to providing an optimal learning environment by employing four native English teachers. This ensures our students have access to a truly immersive English experience. Through our innovative approach, students not only develop linguistic proficiency but also gain increased self-confidence in expressing their opinions in English.

To seamlessly integrate textbook learning with additional reading practice, we have developed a school-based reading and writing program for students in P.1-3. Led by our highly qualified and experienced NET teacher, Mr. Arnold, each P.1-3 class receives weekly instruction. Mr. Arnold also conducts reading levelling assessments to determine individual instructional and independent reading levels. In NETs’ lessons, students engage in shared and guided reading, while also being assigned suitable fiction and non-fiction books for home-based reading. The aim is to enhance students' reading, writing, and phonological awareness skills.

For our senior students, we have adopted the Key Stage 2 Integration Programme (KIP) from the EDB NET Section. This programme incorporates weekly English book reading sessions with their teachers, enabling students to apply advanced reading skills and terminology. Each lesson is followed by a guided reading session that includes practical reading and writing activities. By integrating the KIP program, students develop hands-on reading skills and apply effective decoding strategies.

To support students' reading and spelling skills, we have designed school-based phonics and speaking booklets for all levels. Using the "fingertalk" blending method in SWKPS, the majority of our students can confidently sound out words on their own. Additionally, our school has collaborated with the EDB school-based support services to develop a comprehensive Key Stage 2 phonics and speaking curriculum (P.4-6). This curriculum equips our students with the necessary skills for speaking and interview challenges in their next stage of education.
