‘If I waited for perfection I would never write a word.’ Margaret Atwood ‘Every child is natural born writer.’ Carole Marsh
Why is it important to teach Writing? (Intent) English sits at the heart of the curriculum and we value our children’s right to be literate and to enjoy literature. At Discovery Multi-Discovery Trust, we recognise the central importance of English. Gaining and using skills in language not only affects the child’s progress in school, but also has a profound influence upon the course of his or her whole life. We aim to develop pupils’ abilities in speaking, listening, and writing. Pupils will be given opportunities to develop their use, knowledge and understanding of spoken and written English within a broad and balanced curriculum.
Key Concepts:
Curriculum Design (Implementation) Our English Writing curriculum ensures that our English teaching and learning provides many purposeful opportunities for reading, writing and discussion. We use a wide variety of experiences, quality texts and resources to motivate and inspire our children. All pupils receive a daily English lesson. Teachers also ensure that cross curricular links with concurrent topic work are woven into the programme of study.
