Bredhurst Church of England Primary School

Writing

At Bredhurst C of E Primary School, we strive to help our children develop into articulate and imaginative communicators, who are well-equipped with the basic skills they need to become life-long learners. We aim to ensure all of our children develop a genuine love of language and the written word, through a text-based approach; this links closely to the way we teach reading.

Careful links are made across the curriculum to ensure that children’s English learning is relevant and meaningful: where possible linking our reading, writing and the topic that we are covering in History and Geography. We ensure that children develop an understanding of how widely writing is used in everyday life and, therefore, how important and useful the skills are that they are learning.

Our children are encouraged to see themselves as real writers, writing for meaning and purpose, to enjoy writing and understand the impact of the written word on the audience, taking ownership of their writing.
