Writing

We believe that our pupils learn best when they are provided with a range of opportunities and skills for writing across the curriculum. Teachers will provide a stimulating environment that promotes all aspects of literacy learning. Our pupils have access to a range of writing equipment and resources to support and further develop their writing.

'Writing is your best thinking written down'.

Staff have been trained in 'Write from the Beginning' and our pupils use David Hyerle's Thinking Maps® to help structure their writing.

We have introduced the Write Path handwriting scheme. 

Writing for a purpose is paramount for our children. We plan writing opportunities, link the grammar that is needed and ensure there is excitement about writing.

We use free writing sessions, where pupils can write creatively and enjoy being authors.  We try to encourage this writing through a shared stimulus.
