We are clear about the Intent of our Writing Curriculum:
To ensure every child becomes a writer and confident speaker by the time that they leave St Philip’s Primary School so that they are able to communicate effectively their thoughts and feelings.
In recognition of the context of many of our children, to broaden language used and to develop a rich vocabulary.
In recognition of the context of many of our children, to ensure grammatical accuracy in spoken and written language.
To link reading and writing, to remove potential barriers so that ALL pupils have literary experiences and a context for writing.
By the time pupils leave St Philip’s, they will have secured their basic skills in handwriting, punctuation and spelling.
They will be able to structure and organise their writing to suit the genre they are writing and include a variety of sentence structures and writing techniques to include detail or description.
Our intent, throughout their time with us at St Philip’s is to promote and instil a love for writing, with children of all ages who share enjoyment and a passion for literature and recognise themselves as authors.
Every child a writer.
