At The BAWB Federation, we believe every child is a writer, and our writing curriculum is designed to inspire, challenge and develop confident, motivated young authors from Year 1 to Year 6. Using HFL Education’s ESSENTIALwriting programme, children learn to write for a wide range of real purposes and audiences, drawing on high‑quality literature and practising the full writing process—from generating ideas to publishing their final pieces. The curriculum is carefully sequenced so pupils build skills each year, including vocabulary, grammar, punctuation, handwriting, and an increasingly rich understanding of how writing can entertain, inform, persuade and discuss. Alongside ESSENTIALspelling and strong foundations from Read Write Inc. phonics, our approach ensures children develop accuracy, fluency and creativity, enabling them to write with confidence both in school and in their wider lives.
