Writing
Our writing curriculum is designed to allow pupils to develop the firm foundations of grammar and composition in order to attain high quality outcomes.
Aims
¨ Develop a love of writing
¨ Encourage accurate use of grammar
¨ Provide purposeful writing experiences
Skills
We have designed a progression of skills to allow our pupils to become proficient in:
- Grammar and punctuation
- Composition
Barriers
Our entire curriculum, including writing, promotes opportunities to be Challenged, build Resilience, experience Enrichment and explore the wider World (#CREW).
Stakeholders have identified that our pupils lack confidence and life experiences. To ensure our pupils all reach their full potential, we have designed our writing curriculum with a focus on these specific barriers which include:
- Building confidence, stamina and independence
- Developing oracy and extending vocabulary
- Knowledge beyond their immediate locality
We have a current school focus on handwriting, accuracy and stamina because these are the areas affected by lockdown.
