ExploreTeaching Writing Across the School Training
Writing is one of the hardest things we ask children to do, and one of the clearest markers of a good education. Yet many pupils struggle to write well, and many teachers find writing hard to teach. This training helps your staff teach writing effectively across every year group, so more pupils write with confidence and control.
Below, we explain what our teaching writing training involves, and how it helps you raise writing standards across the school.
What Is Teaching Writing Across the School Training?
It’s practical training that helps teachers improve the way they teach writing. We cover the writing process, modelling and shared writing, grammar and sentence construction in context, vocabulary, and how to help pupils plan, draft, and edit their work.
We ground it in the evidence on effective writing instruction and tailor it to your phase, from early writing through to extended writing at secondary.
Who Is This Training For?
It’s designed for all education settings: maintained schools, academies, and multi-academy trusts, Alternative Provisions, and SEND Units/Hubs. It suits whole-school INSET, English teams, or primary staff building writing from the ground up. Trusts often run it across schools for a consistent writing approach.
Many schools ask for it to raise writing standards, close gaps in writing, or build a consistent approach to teaching writing.
