At Ferrars Junior School we want children to write independently and confidently for a variety of audiences and purposes within different subjects. We believe pupils should be given the opportunity to not only increase their attainment, but also enjoyment and engagement in writing.

The school uses ‘Talk 4 Writing’ to explore imitation, innovation and independent application, and skills developed in writing lessons are also encouraged throughout all curriculum writing. The approach moves from dependence towards independence, with the teacher using shared and guided teaching to develop the ability in children to write creatively and powerfully.
