Subject Intent
To increase pupils’ prospects by ensuring that all children can confidently communicate and transfer their knowledge, ideas and emotions through their writing. We are determined to ensure that our pupils can speak, read and write fluently so that they can succeed in future life.
- To ensure children’s phonic skills are secure as early as possible as these are essential to developing as a competent, assertive reader and subsequently a proficient writer.
- To provide early reading foundations that enable pupils to be enthusiastic readers with a passion and love for storytelling, literature and vocabulary which inspires them to write.
- To provide early writing opportunities to immerse pupils in purposeful transcription and formation activities.
- To ensure that all children learn to write.
- For children to become enthusiastic and motivated writers.
- To immerse children in a range of genres in order to write for purpose and audience.
- To encourage a love of literature.
- Through thorough tracking and moderating we ensure that no child is left behind; those few pupils who find learning to write a challenge are supported through scaffolding and interventions to cater for their needs.
