Pathways to Write

New for 2025-26 we have introduced Pathways to Write which supports our mastery approach to English. Units of work are delivered using high quality texts and children in all year groups are given varied opportunities for writing. Skills are built up through repetition within the units, and children apply these skills in the writing activities provided. Many opportunities for widening children's vocabulary are given through the Pathways to Write approach and this builds on the extensive work we do in school to provide our children with a rich and varied vocabulary.

Please view the below documents to see the objectives for each group which show the skills and progression we teach from one year to the next.
