Writing is our Core Subject School Development priority for 2026-27. We are adapting all Writing planning to boost our pupils' outcomes, in line with the Writing Framework. Each Monday, Years 1-6 have a lesson focused on transcription (the physical and mechanical aspects of writing e.g. spelling), grammar and punctuation. Handwriting is taught a minimum of twice per week in a separate lesson. From Tuesday to Friday, pupils work on a one or two week Writing unit, leading to an independent outcome in Publishing books. These units are changing throughout the year in response to continuous assessment, so keep checking the overviews below for updates.
