Writing

Our Writing Curriculum

Our Intent

Children from North Crescent Primary School become successful communicators through stimulating experiences and exposure to rich literature - using a text-based approach rooted in research. They become readers through writing and writers through reading. 

They navigate through an engaging and meaningful curriculum, which ignites their curiosity, alongside their awe and wonder of the world around them. Teachers provide purposeful writing opportunities and children publish their work to an audience. This encourages them to think like writers and fosters a sense of pride.


We aim for our pupils to enjoy writing across a range of genres and to be able to confidently communicate their knowledge, ideas and emotions through their writing in a variety of ways. 

  • For all pupils to acquire a wide vocabulary, a solid understanding of grammar and be able to spell new words by effectively applying the spelling rules they have learnt. 
  • For all pupils, of all abilities, to succeed in all English lessons. 
  • For all pupils to have a good knowledge of how to adapt their writing based on purpose and audience. They will be able to write clearly, accurately and coherently, adapting their language selections and style appropriately.
