The Summerfields' Writing Curriculum

Our carefully structured and progressive curriculum provides opportunities for pupils to become passionate authors whose skills, knowledge and interests are challenged and developed at all phases. The curriculum is clearly sequenced, demanding and enables progression from EYFS to Year 6. Consistency in the application of the school’s writing cycle enables children to build on prior learning quickly and with understanding. Vocabulary, grammar, spelling and composition are developed both explicitly and implicitly through school’s use of the environment and the use of the established writing cycle.  Texts will underpin and support the writing unit and/or explore unit being covered. This gives children the opportunity to develop subject knowledge, recognition of text type features and become familiar with subject specific vocabulary.  

The curriculum promotes positive attitudes and commitment to their learning through celebration and support. Through carefully selected writing purposes with a clear focus on intended audience, the curriculum prepares children for life in modern Britain. It promotes equality and diversity, promotes respect for the protected characteristics and provides meaningful opportunities for children to understand and respect differences and diversity.
