Our Writing Curriculum

At Godwin, we have developed a book-based curriculum, which is driven by carefully selected, high-quality texts. We believe this approach immerses teachers and children in language-rich learning, which fosters a whole school love of reading and writing. In addition to this, in EYFS and KS1, writing is also taught through the Read Write Inc. programme.

Alongside this, we have developed a series of teaching units with objectives taken from the programmes of study outlined in the National Curriculum. These units are based upon ‘Writing for a Purpose’ and encompass four key writing areas: writing to entertain, writing to inform, writing to persuade and writing to discuss. By providing real and meaningful reasons for writing, children are able to see themselves as ‘writers’ and are able to build a deeper understanding of how to write effectively for different purposes and audiences.
