Writing
Our Vision
Our role at Comberton is to spark curiosity, creating a world of opportunity, awe and wonder for our children and staff. We aim to equip our children with the knowledge, skills and values to lead productive, healthy and inspired lives in modern day Britain.
Writing Intent
At Comberton, we intend for our children to leave as confident, capable and independent writers, who not only understand the purpose and importance of writing but also develop a love for language and enjoy the writing process. Accurate oral, transcription and composition skills are vital in preparing children for their future life.
The aims of teaching Writing in our school are to develop pupils who:
- show high levels of engagement and exhibit positive attitudes towards writing
- develop a love of language, which they can apply competently, confidently and independently as speakers, readers and writers
- have an awareness of different audiences and purposes for writing: to inform, discuss, persuade and entertain
- apply their grammatical knowledge in their writing
- apply their phonetic and spelling knowledge in their writing
- are reflective on their writing and edit their work accordingly
- build a rich vocabulary
- develop a wider understanding of the world around them through exposure to diverse texts
- explore a range of cultures, traditions, opinions and beliefs through exposure to diverse texts
- apply their knowledge, skills and understanding of the English language in all areas of the curriculum
