At Burstow Primary, we believe that great writers are nurtured through a structured, exciting curriculum that sparks curiosity and inspires creativity. From Reception to Year 6, children build their writing skills step by step, developing their ability to express themselves clearly and imaginatively. Our approach ensures that every child, regardless of background or need, can succeed and achieve their full potential. 

We place a strong emphasis on the writing process, encouraging pupils to engage in purposeful writing through planning, drafting, editing, and publishing. By breaking writing into clear stages, we help children refine their ideas, improve their skills, and develop a greater sense of ownership over their work. This process not only builds their writing abilities but also encourages critical thinking, attention to detail, and a commitment to producing high-quality work. 

Through the joy of storytelling, rich language experiences, and engaging writing tasks, children grow into articulate communicators, both in written and spoken word. By encouraging curiosity and exploration, we help children discover their own voice and develop a deep appreciation for language and literature. By the time they leave our school, they will be confident, enthusiastic writers who feel empowered to share their ideas with respect and excitement. They will be ready to take on the next steps in their learning journey with trust in their abilities and a love for the craft of writing.
