Writing

We are: Visionary

Writing is at the centre of everything we do here at Cavendish Junior School.  We encourage our pupils to be as creative as possible using our Curiosity Cabin and to receive the support they need to be analytical with their approach to sentence structure.  We use high quality language in all our lessons and encourage the application of this in their writing.

Our Curiosity Cabin is a fantastic space for pupils to use their imagination and be creative with their writing.  Pupils use this space at least once a term (sometimes it is themed) and they can go their own way with their writing and explore new themes. 

What Interventions do we offer?

We offer Little Wandle for our Phonics Programme.  Most pupils have already passed the phonics test by the time they come up to our school, however, we offer this as an intervention to ensure that anyone who needs additional support can receive it.

We also offer interventions called Precision Teaching and Switch On.  These focus on the small detail in Writing, such as spelling to break the process down to the barrier that the child has.  Please see our SEND tab for further information on our Intervention programmes.
