English - Writing

At Danesholme Academies, our writing curriculum is designed so that every child will 'Be Ready':

Ready to Learn — In Writing, we provide a rich and structured curriculum that builds strong foundational skills. Children are ready to write clearly, use new vocabulary, and express their ideas with growing confidence.

Ready for Life — Writing develops communication, resilience, and creativity. Children learn to organise their thoughts, reflect on their work, and use writing for real-life purposes.

Ready to Contribute — Writing encourages children to share opinions, listen to feedback, and value others’ ideas. They learn how writing can influence, inform, and connect with their community and the wider world.

Ready to Succeed — With clear progression in handwriting, spelling, grammar, and composition, children are supported to achieve well. High expectations and purposeful practice ensure they are ready for the next stage of their writing journey.
