English - Writing
At Mary Exton Primary School, reading and writing are taught together and are central to enabling children to access and succeed across the whole curriculum. We strive for all children to read with fluency and understanding and to become life-long readers who enjoy and value books. Through exposure to high-quality literature, pupils hear and use a broad range of ambitious and challenging language, which underpins their development as confident writers.
Our writing curriculum is ambitious, inclusive and carefully sequenced. It is underpinned by the Herts Essentials Writing programme, which supports pupils to develop the knowledge, skills and confidence they need to write effectively for a range of purposes and audiences.
