It is our intent at Marsden Junior School to provide pupils with a high-quality education in English that will teach pupils to speak, read and write fluently so that they can communicate their ideas and emotions to others effectively and leave with a love of writing and an appreciation of its educational, cultural and entertainment values.
At Marsden Junior School, writing underpins our curriculum. All children, regardless of gender and ability, from Year 3 to Year 6, are provided with many opportunities to develop and apply their writing skills across the curriculum to enable them to write fluently and with interesting detail on a number of topics, and have an awareness of the audience, purpose and context.
With regards to writing, we intend for pupils to be able to foster a vivid imagination which makes for engaging and enjoyable writing. We aim for each child to have a highly developed vocabulary and an excellent knowledge of writing techniques to extend details or description. This, along with, excellent transcription skills, will ensure writing is well presented and punctuated, spelled correctly and neat to ensure that learners will leave year 6 as skilled and competent writers.
