To support explicit teaching of grammar, we use Grammarsaurus resources. We focus on the foundations of accurate grammar.

We begin our writing in September with all year groups completing  7 weeks of Place Value for Punctuation and Grammar (PVPG). This is a teaching approach that focusses on the precise placement and usage of punctuation marks within sentences, alongside grammar rules, essentially helping children understand the importance of correct sentence structure. Throughout the year, this is then reinforced when pupils apply their learning to their written work. Please see the Overviews for each year group alongside the progression document for Place Value of Punctuation and Grammar.
