At Bentley New Village Primary School, we believe that writing is an essential life skill and we are committed to enabling our children to become competent with the life skills required for writing, to ensure the best possible opportunities are available in the children’s future and to allow them to develop the life skills sentence structures, punctuation, grammar, spelling and handwriting.
At the heart of our writing sequence is our drive to engage children in activities that incorporate imaginative thinking, real life scenarios, emotionally and physically diverse ideas, facts and thought provoking events, whilst also developing each child’s language, spoken language, and vocabulary understanding and use. We strive to raise the importance of writing amongst the community by ensuring our children are writing for real life audiences, with an expectation that a reply is received.
Writing is a skill that enables children to communicate their learning across the wider curriculum and lays the foundations for success in future lines of study and employment. We recognise the importance of taking a consistent whole school approach to the teaching of writing in order to close any gaps and to target the highest possible number of children attaining the expected standard or higher.
We have high expectations of all children and we encourage them to challenge themselves, show a resilience and determination to succeed and to show creativity and co-operation within their writing sessions.
