Writing:

Our writing curriculum is designed to inspire children to write with purpose and enthusiasm. We equip them with the skills needed to express their ideas clearly and effectively across a wide range of writing outcomes. Each unit offers varied stimuli, and wherever possible, we make meaningful links to RE, history, geography, and science.

Our writing units draw on diverse sources, including picture books, chapter books, visual literacy (animations), folk and traditional tales, poetry, and real-life events. Children are encouraged to consider the purpose, audience, language, and layout of each piece, adopting the perspective of a reader as they write.

We provide opportunities for self-editing and peer-editing, helping children refine their work collaboratively and independently.

Grammar:

EYFS and Year 1: basic grammar (capital letters, full stops, question marks, word order, word classes- nouns and adjectives) are taught within our English sessions.

Year 2- Year 6: the children follow the National Curriculum’s expected outcomes for Grammar and Punctuation. Every element of grammar is built up and developed, so that the children have many opportunities to practise these skills. All year groups ensure to teach grammar as part of their English sessions to develop the children’s understanding.
