At St Andrew's Church of England Primary Shool, we use Ready Steady Write by Literacy Counts to provide a high-quality, inspiring writing curriculum. This comprehensive program is built around engaging, vocabulary-rich anchor texts (vehicle texts) that spark children's imaginations. It offers a clear, structured sequence for teaching writing—from immersing pupils in a story to independent final pieces—ensuring deep learning, strong talk-for-writing foundations, and consistency across all year groups.

What does the Curriculum involve?

• Vehicle Texts: High-quality, inclusive children’s literature tied to each half-term's topic.

• Daily Sentence Accuracy: Focused sessions on grammar, punctuation, spelling, and transcription skills.

• Talk for Writing & Vocabulary: Oracy-led lessons to help children internalize story structures and new words before writing.

• Incidental Writes: Shorter writing tasks (like diaries, letters, or in-role descriptions) that build up skills step-by-step.

• Working Walls: Interactive classroom displays that track the writing journey, key vocabulary, and models.
