Our Vision

We provide our children with the basic skills required to communicate effectively when writing. We encourage children to aspire to a variety of careers and teach them that effective written communication is essential for them to succeed. Children learn to have respect for the written word through our love of reading and exposure to a wide range of literature which, in turn, inspires their own written compositions. Children are encouraged to challenge themselves to produce different types of written communication to the best of their ability and continually make improvements to the quality of their writing.

Ways in which we support this include:

Activities which are planned to encourage full and active participation by all children, irrespective of ability
Children with specific speech and language and auditory problems will be identified and specialist help sought, where appropriate
School Plays
Weekly assembly
Events within the community
School Council
Talk partners
Drama / role play
PSHE and circle time
