At Bucklesham Primary School, we believe in the importance of writing across the whole curriculum.

Writing is a key life skill which enables children to express themselves, communicate with others and access other areas of the curriculum. It is a complex process which requires a command of sentence and text structure, grammar and punctuation, an ability to edit and evaluate both their own and others writing, a knowledge of how spoken language translates to the written word, an awareness of purpose and audience across different genres and involves a competency in spelling and handwriting.  We use CUSP writing to teach writing skills.

We believe we foster an ethos where:

• writing is seen as purposeful and enjoyable
• each child to see themselves as a confident and successful writer
• each child can achieve the level of writing of which they are capable
• writing is developed across a range of meaningful contexts
•  there is a broad curriculum offering the full spectrum of writing genres
•  each child develops the necessary writing skills to be a competent writer
•  writing is seen as an essential life skill
• Yew Class wrote Remembrance Poems about someone important to them. 
• 
• Willow Class is practicing their writing.
