Writing at Sutton Courtenay CofE Primary is valued as a key skill for communication, creativity, and self‑expression. Our writing curriculum is inspired by high‑quality books and is firmly text‑driven. Carefully chosen texts form the heart of each unit and have been specifically selected to meet the needs, interests, and experiences of our pupils.

Pupils are exposed to a diverse and inclusive range of books and a wide variety of text types, enabling them to write with clarity, imagination, and purpose for different audiences and genres. Through rich discussion, strong literary models, and meaningful writing opportunities, children develop confidence and pride in their writing.

“The pen is mightier than the sword.” – Edward Bulwer‑Lytton
