The overarching aim for Writing in the National Curriculum is to promote high standards of language and literacy by equipping pupils with a strong command of the spoken and written word. The National Curriculum for English aims to ensure that all pupils:

• write clearly, accurately and coherently, adapting their language and style in and for a range of contexts, purposes and audiences;
• use discussion in order to learn; they should be able to elaborate and explain clearly their understanding and ideas;
• are competent in the arts of speaking and listening, making formal presentations, demonstrating to others and participating in debate.
