English

It is our intent at Cookridge Holy Trinity to ensure that all our pupils become effective and imaginative communicators who can confidently share their knowledge, ideas and emotions with others; we see writing as a crucial aspect of this. We aim to ensure our children develop a genuine love of language and the written word through a text-based approach, linking closely to the teaching of reading, by using the same text as the basis for writing and guided reading where possible.
