Writing Intent

At The Greville, we recognise the importance of nurturing a culture where children can enjoy and take pride in their writing, can write clearly and accurately and are able to adapt their language and style for a range of contexts, purposes and audiences. We want pupils to acquire a wide vocabulary, a solid understanding of grammar and be able to spell new words by effectively applying their knowledge of spelling patterns and rules. We believe that writing is not limited to the English ‘lesson’ and therefore children are provided with opportunities to develop and apply their writing skills in other areas of the curriculum. We encourage our children to become reflective writers who are able to refine and edit their writing as well as being given the opportunity to celebrate and publish their writing.
