Writing

Intent

You write in order to change the world ... if you alter, even by a millimetre, the way people look at reality, then you can change it

As a medium of reflection, writing endows us with the ability to contemplate multiple aspects of life, to convey feeling and enrich the lives of others. At Mangotsfield, we consider every child an author and we promote a positive ethos, where children are able to develop their love of literacy and literature. During their time here, our learners will have plentiful opportunities to write across the curriculum and apply taught skills in a nurturing and safe environment. Through refined discussions, purposeful outcomes and the celebration of learners’ achievements, we foster a culture of writing for pleasure. Additionally, high-quality texts form the spine for our writing curriculum, allowing learners to access models of excellence whilst developing their own style of writing. High yet achievable expectations support our learners in building a foundation for a community of writers.

Our writing knowledge is organised into three blocks: grammar and punctuation; composition and genre.
