Writing at Kingshurst Primary School
At Kingshurst Primary School, our vision is to provide every child with the opportunity to become an enthusiastic writer, fostering an excitement for writing from an early age. We firmly believe that by setting high expectations and offering consistent encouragement, we can cultivate confident and capable writers. Our aim is for children to express themselves clearly, accurately, and coherently, whilst adapting their language and style to suit various contexts, purposes, and audiences.
We emphasise the importance of exposing all children to a diverse range of quality writing texts. Furthermore, we dedicate time for reflection on their own writing as well as that of others. At Kingshurst, children will acquire the essential skills needed to become proficient writers, whilst developing a genuine love for the craft of writing that will last a lifetime. We are committed to nurturing each child's unique voice and potential in this vital area of their education.
Writing Always Skills
Writing is an essential skill that will benefit every pupil throughout their life. It is a critical skill that equips children with the ability to communicate in numerous ways
There are many skills that children will be taught during each year linked to their writing. At Kingshurst, we use the Writing Always Skills which we have identified as being the essential minimum requirements your child must meet to enable them to continue to make progress the following year. These are set out in the following document.
At Kingshurst Primary School, we encourage children to take pride in their writing, whilst nurturing creativity and building confidence.
As a school, we develop writing through four purposes. These are:
- writing to entertain;
- writing to inform;
- writing to persuade;
- writing to discuss.
