At Westende Junior School, we intend to provide pupils with the skills needed to allow them to write and share their ideas and emotions effectively. Pupils will leave our school with the skills that enable them to write for a range of audiences, purposes, and formalities. This will allow them to continue to achieve and shine as they progress to further education and onto their working lives. 

We promote high standards of language and literacy from Year 3 to Year 6. We provide opportunities that allow the children to apply their knowledge of higher level vocabulary (tier 2 and tier 3), language and text structure to develop their writing skills across the curriculum.
