We believe that all pupils have the right to a high quality reading and writing curriculum. We will create an environment where children enjoy reading and writing ,feel confident to take risks in their writing and become fluent discerning readers that can appreciate and understand the wider world.
Writing
Children are inspired to write by using quality texts or experiences as starting points for their own writing. Where it can be done meaningfully, writing is linked to the topic. The National Curriculum for writing forms the basis of our planning for writing and is closely followed to ensure appropriate coverage and challenge. Writing is taught in units which last for approximately three weeks using The Jane Considine approach which supports children to develop high standards in writing so that they are able to write independently for a variety of audiences and purposes within different subjects.
Reading
We provide a language rich environment that promotes a culture of reading amongst all pupils and develops in pupils a love of books and high-quality texts that will not only support their learning across the curriculum, but also extend beyond the classroom environment and enrich their lives.
