Structure of our Writing Curriculum and Sessions

Our writing curriculum is based on a text- based approach, where the children’s writing is inspired by a variety of high-quality texts. Our approach is inspired by One Education’s writing model which promotes:

1. Text-based approaches to writing.
2. Hooking children into writing.
3. Providing a real audience and purpose.
4. Promoting the editing process.
5. Publishing.
6. Writing for pleasure. 

At the start of each half term, children are introduced to their new text in an engaging manner (steps 1 and 2). Throughout the term, the text is used to engage, guide and inspire the children to write for different audiences and purposes (step 3: see writing curriculum genre coverage and writing opportunities). Children are encouraged to edit and improve their writing (step 4 and 5) in writing sessions and through our assessment policy. Throughout the process, the children develop a love for writing through engagement in the text, the writing and the purpose. They become enthusiastic writers (step 6).
