Writing
The idea is to write it so that people hear it and it slides through the brain and goes straight to the heartÂ

At Stapeley Broad Lane, writing is an integral part of our teaching. We ensure that children are secure with all elements of writing including transcription and composition whilst building skills to plan, revise and evaluate their own work and those of others. We teach writing by following the Literacy Curriculum - Literacy Tree. The Literacy Curriculum is a complete, thematic approach to the teaching of primary English that places children’s literature at its core. The Literacy Curriculum immerses children in a literacy world, therefore creating strong levels of engagement to provide meaningful and authentic contexts for primary English.
Our Aims
At Stapeley Broad Lane, we educate our pupils to become independent learners, so they can :
write in different contexts and for different purposes and audiences, including themselves
write with increasing awareness of the conventions of grammar, punctuation and spelling
form letters correctly, leading to a fluent and legible handwriting style
develop listening and comprehension skills through a variety of means
develop their oral abilities at their own level
express opinions, articulate feelings and formulate appropriate responses to increasingly complex questions and instructions.
