Writing
Our English curriculum at St Michael at Bowes CE School (SMAB) develops a range of skills, with our aim to teach pupils to be linguistically confident and to access all opportunities available to them. Where possible, we make cross-curricular links to make learning more enjoyable and relevant. We want children to experience the enjoyment of English and develop a sense of curiosity about the subject. Therefore, we ensure our pupils see themselves and feel represented in the model texts and topics they write about. Language is vitally important and the Writing and Reading Subject Leads are continually focusing on closing the ‘word gap’ in order to help increase every child’s cultural capital.
