Grammar
Grammar is both explicitly taught and woven into the writing units to provide opportunities to apply their learning. Pupils' learning in grammar is assessed formatively by teachers through the weekly writing sessions and used to create bespoke targets for children and through a summative termly standardised grammar test.
