Writing
Spelling, vocabulary, grammar and punctuation
The two statutory appendices on spelling and on vocabulary, grammar and punctuation give an overview of what is taught in each year group.
Spellings are highlighted as part of the daily English lessons, and spelling rules are taught as a discrete lesson during Grammar sessions.
Spellings are reinforced and revised as part of our homework policy.
