Writing
We hope this page offers you a wealth of information about writing at Headfield. If you require any further information or support with writing, please contact our subject leader Miss Allen in Year 6 or your child's class teacher.
Reading is breathing in, writing is breathing out.
Pam Allyn
Every child is a writer at Headfield. Our curriculum is tailored and refined to suit the needs of our learners and their potential, to ignite a passion for learning and writing is one of the many ways children can learn to express their ideas.
At Headfield writing is a developmental and creative process. As with all other areas of learning, the Primary Framework for writing is taught through Cornerstones, our topic based resource. All attempts at writing are valued and we know that all learners have the potential to be successful writers. Immersion in reading, talk and preparation for writing is essential to the writing development process.

This was a national voluntary writing competition for children to enter. The theme for 2024 was 'An Unforgettable Place'. Children throughout the UK were invited to enter the competition and we are thrilled to share two of our young writers were selected as winners. This is a tremendous achievement and Headfield are extremely proud.
Here are some photos from Zainab attending the gala presentation in London:

We are delighted to share Headfield was third (out of thirty) schools in the National Final Spelling Competition, organised by Emile. The children answered over 36,000 correct spelling questions over two days in and amongst their curriculum lessons.
In the regional finals, Headfield was first! A tremendous achievement by some of our Y6 classes. As always, we are extremely proud of our children.
