English/Writing

We want our children to show excellence in the fundamental literacy skills required to become proficient writers; through engaging writing opportunities and experiences. Every child, regardless of starting point, will show resilience when learning the technical skills needed to be a competent and capable writer across all strands of the English curriculum. We want our children to become confident and enthusiastic writers and be able to write independently for a range of purposes. We also strive for our children to respect, and develop, a deep knowledge enabling them to make informed language and vocabulary choices. Self-worth will be fostered through encouraging children to understand what they are writing about and supporting them to consider the choices they are making in their Writing.

We will use a 4 step model that will follow a similar structure every lesson, and in every unit.
