Writing We are committed to improving writing at Cheetwood by providing opportunities for pupils to write for a range of purposes and audiences. High quality texts across a range of genres are used to inspire pupils
to produce their best written work. Developing speaking and listening skills alongside writing is a priority in order to allow pupils to plan and structure their writing effectively. All pupils are taught ambitious
vocabulary throughout the curriculum and are encouraged to apply this vocabulary in their written work.
Cheetwood Writing Results
Due to school closures during the Covid 19 pandemic, statutory testing in primary schools was suspended in 2019-2020, so Cheetwood’s most recent externally validated data is from the academic year 2018-2019. The data summarised below is the school’s own internal data from 2019-2020.

Regular writing activities throughout the year enabled us to focus on improving writing. As well as daily literacy lessons, the pupils participate in weekly SPAG lessons, vocabulary focus sessions and
also have opportunities to write in other areas of the curriculum. Pupils in years 1-6 will receive weekly writing homework such as a creative writing piece, spelling practice or grammar task. If you have any questions
about homework, please speak to your child’s teacher. Below are resources that you can use with your child at home: Common Exception Words – Year 1 & 2
