It is important that clusters have a shared agreement about how grammar is taught and mastered and when.
This is a useful video giving explanations and examples of common grammatical features: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gfYq2ng9s4E It would be very useful to have short videos made by pupils explaining these grammatical features using examples relating to Pembrokeshire and Wales.
Below is an example of Grammar FUNdamentals that a cluster could agree is mastered by the end of Year 6. Each school could determine which features are taught and mastered by the end of each year in school. These end of year expectations could be aligned with broader writing and literacy milestones as in the example below.
To the right is an editable version of the Grammar FUNdamentals if you would like to edit definitions or examples.
The second slide shows how schools/clusters could gradually build up the full picture with year groups as they move from the early years to year 6 and into secondary, systematically revealing increasingly complex features.
Using the same overview across the school enables pupils and families to see how the full picture is gradually introduced and mastered over time, reinforcing the need to build on strong prior knowledge with attendance, attention and sustained effort in order for pupils to progress and feel successful.
