Writing
At Merryhills’ the fundamental intention behind our Writing curriculum is to develop pupil’s ability to speak and write fluently so that they can confidently communicate their ideas, opinions and emotions to others.
We hope our children will competently use their transcription and composition skills to show courage as they participate in the world: to communicate, consider and challenge ideas. We aim to expose pupils to high quality vocabulary and a comprehensive understanding of grammar to give their abstract ideas a vehicle to drive the world forward into the future.
Our curriculum inspires pupils to create relevant and purposeful writing through contextualised content, global stimuli and awareness of the audience. The writing curriculum is closely linked to foundation subjects and highly dependent on the teaching of reading and exposure to high quality texts.
