Writing
Developing strong writing skills in primary school is essential for helping children express themselves clearly, creatively, and confidently. Writing is not only a key part of the English curriculum but also a tool for learning across all subjects, enabling pupils to record ideas, explain their thinking, and communicate effectively with different audiences.
In the early years, writing supports fine motor development and phonics knowledge, while later it builds vocabulary, grammar, and the ability to structure ideas logically. As pupils progress, it nurtures creativity, critical thinking, and the perseverance needed to refine and improve their work.
A secure foundation in writing equips children with a lifelong skill—allowing them to share their voice, tell their stories, and engage fully with the wider world.
