We aim to deliver a high-quality education that engages, inspires and challenges our pupils, providing them with the technical knowledge and skills to write with fluency and creativity.  Pupils will learn the structures and features of a wide variety of written texts.  They will learn how to critique, plan and create their own writing with developing accuracy in spelling, punctuation and grammar.
