​​Our Writing Intent
At our school, we aim to equip all children with the skills needed to become confident writers within all genres. ​
We inspire a passion for writing across the curriculum by providing opportunities for our children to embrace new and engaging creative writing projects, in which they are encouraged to build their vocabulary and draw upon their own reading to create pieces appropriately suited for a variety of audiences and purposes.
