We must ensure we are not only plugging the gaps in each year group, but

also teaching for mastery in each year group. No longer can we allow this to be a responsibility for Years 2 and 6.

All teachers need to have a fundamental understanding of what constitutes

a greater depth writer in not only their year group but also what is expected

f them at the end of the Key Stage.
Opportunities for our Greater Depth writers to explore their “voice” as an

author, need to be given. Application through independent tasks is essential to show a child’s mastery of the required skills. KS2 children need to call on their own experiences and interests to produce work that engages and show authorial intent.

Have they shown application of greater depth skills in the previous year group? Are they applying their greater depth skills in their current year group? Do they show real potential to apply the greater depth skills at the end of Key Stage?

Mastery Writing Page 17 of final report of the commission on assessment without levels (published in 2015 by DfE) explains that mastery is:

“…about deep, secure learning for all, with extension of able students (more things on the same topic) rather than acceleration (rapidly moving on to the new content)”

Greater Depth Writing across the curriculum Task 1 – Take a look at the example of a

Year 6’s writing. If this is their writing now, what needs to be taught to support this child in reaching Greater Depth? What opportunities could support them in reaching Greater Depth at end of KS2?

Task 2 – Now choose a piece of writing by a

child from a different year group.

1. Do you think this child has mastered the

skills from the previous year?

2. What skills does the child need to

achieve/apply in order to ensure they are Greater Depth at the end of this year?

3. What opportunities could be developed to

support the child in reaching Greater Depth?

Reflect

What does your school need to do to ensure you are allowing for mastery of writing? What does your school need to do to ensure children with the potential of achieving the Greater Depth standard are being given the opportunities and teaching they require?
