Thomas Tallis School Literacy Policy Language is the prime medium through which students learn, think and express themselves. The development of literacy for communication skills is an entitlement for all students and the responsibility of the whole school community; it is at the heart of teaching and learning and should be taught systematically and consistently across the curriculum. The staff of Thomas Tallis School is committed to developing literacy skills in all our students in the belief that this will support their learning, impact on their self-esteem, motivation and behaviour, and empower them to learn independently, whilst also raising standards across the curriculum. All schemes of work and most lessons will include specific literacy objectives; literacy should form part of lesson starters and or plenaries when it is appropriate to the focus of the lesson.
