Writing

Intent

At Great Kimble School, our Writing curriculum is designed to nurture big hearts and bold futures by inspiring all children to develop a love of writing and confidence in using language to express themselves. Through an ambitious, relevant and rich curriculum, underpinned by carefully chosen class texts, we aim to engage pupils, spark enjoyment and raise attainment.

We believe that English is both a subject in its own right and the foundation for learning across the whole curriculum. High-quality texts are selected to reflect our cohorts, challenge thinking and inspire creativity, providing meaningful contexts for reading, writing, speaking and listening. Secure understanding and use of language enables pupils to access learning across all subjects.

Through rich, text-led writing opportunities, children develop big hearts by exploring emotions, perspectives and experiences, building empathy and understanding. Pupils write for a range of purposes and audiences, developing creativity, independence and pride in their work.

Our Writing curriculum equips pupils with the essential skills they need to succeed in school and beyond, preparing them for bold futures as confident, articulate communicators who enjoy writing and can use language powerfully throughout their lives.
