At Hall Green, we believe every child can be a confident, creative writer. Our writing curriculum inspires children to express themselves, explore ideas, and communicate with purpose.

We use carefully chosen core texts to spark imagination, alongside real-life writing opportunities that show children the power and purpose of their words. Our approach builds strong foundations and develops skills that last a lifetime:

• Phonics and spelling: children master the building blocks of words through phonetic (Little Wandle) and morphological approaches

• Handwriting: Kinetic Letters and joined handwriting help children write fluently and beautifully, allowing automaticity to take over

• Sentence and language skills: strong focus on sentence formation, vocabulary and grammar

• Creativity and style: children develop their own voice and flourish as imaginative writers

Our curriculum is flexible and responsive, tailored each year to the needs, interests, and strengths of our children.

Learning in Action

• Children plan, draft, edit, and improve their work, becoming reflective and independent writers

• Technology is used to bring their writing to life, making final pieces exciting and engaging

• Parents are welcomed into our writing journey, with opportunities to read and provide feedback on finished work

Writing at Hall Green is fun, purposeful, and celebrated. We nurture confident communicators who love to write, are proud of their achievements, and are ready to make their mark in the world.
