Writing

At Alfriston School, we evaluate each student's writing on a variety of factors. Some of the factors that we look at are based on First Steps writing programme. This also helps us to determine where each student is writing compared to National Standard. Look at the charts below to see which writing skills you should be working on.

Experimental writers move into the Early writing phase usually during Middle School.
