At St. Marys’, we want our children to be able to write at length for a range of audiences and purposes, with a positive attitude. Our long-term plan, derived from the CUSP writing curriculum, demonstrates how we write for these purposes over the year. We want our children to take on the role of a writer and understand how to fulfil the role successfully using a variety of tools. St Mary’s children can harness their skills as a reader in order to carefully consider the authorial choices they are making. We believe that our children should be able to talk confidently about their writing in order to discus their work reflectively, using our ‘Talk Tactics’, and act upon feedback that they have received – as well as giving meaningful feedback to their peers.
