Writing
At Ryarsh, we aim to develop high standards of language and literacy by equipping pupils with a strong understanding of the spoken and written language, and to develop their love of literature through widespread reading for enjoyment.
Teaching of explicit skills and targeted activities develops pupils’ spelling and handwriting. Children are then supported to apply their new skills into their speech and writing. As part of every genre, pupils are taught how to plan, revise and evaluate their writing.
One Page Summary
Our one page summary document provides an overview of how we teach reading at Ryarsh Primary School. It is based on our overall curriculum intent statement (which can be viewed by clicking here).
Our Writing Curriculum
Over recent years, we have taken the national curriculum statements in writing and have used them to create a detailed and progressive curriculum, completely bespoke to the children of our school. This allows us to ensure that children develop as skilled and confident writers, mastering key elements in compositional skills, as well as those in grammar and punctuation.
Our Grammar and Punctuation Curriculum
Below are copies of our grammar and punctuation curriculum for the different year groups:
Key Stage Two (Years 3,4,5 and 6)
Once fully completed, our composition curriculum will also be shared on our website.
