School Vision: Excellence in learning – Investment in Oracy – Strength in Inclusivity

We believe that writing gives children the power to communicate their ideas, share their experiences, express their creativity and make their voices heard. Our writing curriculum aims to develop children who can write accurately, purposefully and creatively for a range of audiences and purposes. We want children to understand that effective writing is about more than putting words on a page. It involves thinking, planning, choosing language carefully, crafting ideas, making improvements and considering the impact writing has on the reader. Above all, we want children to develop a love of language and the confidence to see themselves as writers.

 

An introduction from Miss Smith, Laurel Lane's Writing Subject Leader

As an adult who is passionate about writing, it is extremely rewarding and exciting for me to be able to support our children at Laurel Lane to discover the power of words. We have developed a curriculum that not only ensures that our children can write accurately with a confident awareness of grammar and punctuation, but also be able to develop their own author's tone and recognise the variety of purposes that writing can offer. 

It is my hope and aim that every child leaves Laurel Lane with a love of language, the confidence to write creatively and purposefully and the knowledge that their words have the power to inform, entertain, persuade and inspire others.
