English at Offley Primary Academy
At Offley Primary Academy, we believe that all children should recognise the value of writing. By the end of Year Six, all children must be able to write fluently – understanding the related rules and conventions. Through high quality teaching and the innovative use of 1:1 iPads, it is our aim to teach children to be able to write accurately and meaningfully for a range of fiction and non-fiction purposes. Through our writing process, children will acquire and learn the skills to plan, draft and edit their written work. Children will support each other within this process, responding critically to their own and to others’ writing. Handwriting, spelling and grammar will be explicitly taught to ensure that children are able to understand the conventions of writing and manipulate language to create effects for the reader. Children will be given opportunities to write creatively, drawing on their reading knowledge, and for a purpose, making writing enjoyable and developing their individual styles and confidence as young writers.
