INTENTION: The recent ‘Writing for purpose’ themed week demonstrated to the SLT the future potential impact of developing more effective approaches to the teaching of

writing across the school. Our aim is to raise standards in writing which can be measured through data, book looks and pupil voice. (S&E)Current Situation/Analysis:

2018 GPS results have fallen below National Average (KS2) Note: EXS GPS LH= 75% NatAv = 78% & Higher Standard = 23% NatAv = 31%

EYFS Early Talk Boost sessions Talk Boost in Y1 & 2 7 staff have attended Talk 4 Writing training Daily phonic/spelling sessions

Extended writing session (weekly) Role-play in each year group Creative areas in playground (music/stage) Word walls in every classroom Strong links with KS3 curriculum (SSIF project)

Links to OFSTED descriptors:1. Teachers plan lessons very effectively, making maximum use of lesson time and coordinating lesson resources well.2. Teachers embed reading, writing and communication, equipping almost all pupils with the necessary skills to make progress. Teachers identify and support any

pupil who is falling behind, and enable most to catch up.3. Throughout each year group and across the curriculum, including in English and mathematics, current pupils make substantial and sustained progress, developing

excellent knowledge, understanding and skills, considering their different starting points. 4. Pupils are typically able to articulate their knowledge and understanding clearly in an age-appropriate way. They can hold thoughtful conversations about them

with each other and adults.Objectives/Actions: Time
