Our English lessons are based around high-quality texts. Within each year group, children will explore the text, considering the author’s use of language; how a text is organised and the key features of the genre. They will then have the opportunity to practise using applying these in their own pieces of writing.

Writing is a crucial skill developed and used not only in English lessons but across the curriculum as a whole. We aim to give the children the opportunity to explore a wide variety of genres of writing throughout their time at Fairfields.

See our text type progression to see the genres and text types the children will cover during their time at Fairfields.
