WRITING

At Chandos, our children understand that writing is a vital, lifelong skill, an art form and a craft. As a school, we provide our children the fundamental skills in spelling, punctuation and grammar to ensure they are confident to approach any writing opportunity. We provide our children the skills to become reflective and determined thinkers who understand that perseverance and the willingness to alter, correct and adapt their writing will lead to success and a feeling of pride.

HIGH QUALITY TEXTS TO INSPIRE WRITING

English Overview (3).pdf

Through a love of reading and listening to stories, we help their creativity and imagination in develop new worlds and characters.

We provide children with the opportunities to read from a range of authors and texts that range from historical and classic texts, to more modern and contemporary stories from diverse authors and backgrounds.

All of the texts we use are carefully chosen to inspire children's writing and enable them to acquire a rich and varied vocabulary.

Writing and high-quality texts are sometimes linked to topics, as this can help embed knowledge and further inspire the writing.
