Children at Moulsecoomb are creative and imaginative writers.  They will have many opportunities throughout the week to write, edit and improve. We follow CUSP reading, writing and spelling programmes. https://www.unity-curriculum.co.uk/more-information/primary/#reading&writing

Cross-Curricular Literacy Opportunities

We teach the full National Curriculum for English. The skills that children are taught in Literacy underpin all other subjects.  They enable pupils to communicate and express themselves in all areas of their work.  Teachers will always make cross-curricular links wherever appropriate and will plan for pupils to apply the skills, knowledge and understanding that they have acquired during Literacy to other areas of the curriculum.

Progression documents ensure that we cover a wide range of writing purposes within each year group and across the school. They are designed to enable our children to write clearly, accurately and coherently, showing children how they can adapt their language and style for a range of contexts, purposes and audiences. Our pitch and progression document maps out the key writing skills to be taught. It provides guidance for teachers about the elements to include in modelled writing and indicates the intended purpose for the writing, while allowing the opportunity to alter the audience for the needs and abilities of the children.

Writing is assessed through regular termly book monitoring, lesson observations and learning walks by the English Lead, Headteacher, phases leaders and colleagues across the trust.
