WRITING
Welcome to Inglehurst Junior School: A Place Where Writing Thrives
At Inglehurst Junior School, we believe in the power and joy of writing. Our dedication to cultivating young writers is at the heart of our curriculum. Here, every child discovers the purpose and passion behind their words; learning to express themselves with clarity and creativity.
Writing with Purpose
Writing at Inglehurst is always meaningful. We engage our pupils with stimulating and relevant examples from a variety of authors and age-appropriate texts. These texts serve as a hook; sparking curiosity and excitement about writing. By examining these examples, children identify the ingredients to what makes them successful.
We immerse our students in a rich and relevant vocabulary, giving them the tools they need to express their ideas effectively.
Our teachers play a crucial role in guiding our young writers. Through modelled writing sessions, teachers demonstrate the writing process; sharing their thought processes and techniques. This hands-on approach provides pupils with a clear example of how to craft their own pieces. The teachers provide children with live feedback at the point of writing wherever possible and give written feedback to support their end creation.
The Writing Journey
At Inglehurst we follow our own writing teaching sequence that links and interweaves reading, writing and oracy to ensure that our pupils are able to communicate effectively and confidently:
At Inglehurst, we are committed to nurturing confident and skilled writers. We celebrate the unique voice of every student and encourage them to write with purpose, passion, and precision. Join us on this exciting journey of discovery and creativity through the written word.
