We teach speaking and writing so that our children can communicate their ideas and emotions to others, participate in society and progress onto the next stage of their education, ready to succeed.
We believe that our children need to be able to write and speak purposefully, for a range of audiences and in varied situations. Our children need to write with a legible and effective style of handwriting and show good application of spelling rules.
