Key Stage 2
Writing
In Key Stage 2, children continue to develop as thoughtful, skilled writers with a strong sense of audience and purpose. They learn to plan, draft, edit, and improve their writing across a wide range of genres, including narratives, persuasive texts, reports, and poetry. Vocabulary and sentence structure become more sophisticated, and children are encouraged to experiment with language to create effect. Spelling, grammar, and punctuation are taught in a structured way and applied consistently in their writing. Through regular opportunities to write at length and reflect on their work, pupils grow in confidence, creativity, and independence and learn the vital skills they will need in later life.
