At Chislet we intend for all pupils to be confident and competent writers by equipping them with a strong command of the spoken and written language, and to develop their love of literature through widespread reading for enjoyment.

In writing we ensure that all pupils:

• acquire a wide vocabulary and can make rich connections across the curriculum
• use discussion in order to learn; influencing their writing
• have an understanding of grammar and knowledge of linguistic conventions and apply this knowledge in their writing
• appreciate our rich and varied literary heritage
• write clearly, accurately and coherently, adapting their style in and for a range of contexts, purposes and audiences
• master fluent, legible handwriting
• have the stamina to write at length
• know how to plan, edit and improve their writing

Our writing curriculum is of a high quality and ensures there is a clear progression. In order to measure the impact, we gather a variety of data to ensure learning has occurred and progress has been made.  This information directly informs future planning and learning opportunities, allowing us to be responsive to the needs of our learners.
