Looking to gather a small network of primaries to work with me in researching techniques for maximising the links between reading and writing. Ideally year 4/5 and some year 6 and ideally Chesterfield/Sheffield area or close proximity. Shares greatly appreciated.

Big announcement!

Curriculum Leaders course is now on Myatt & Co

We’re adding new resources to support ongoing professional learning for you and your colleagues.

First up is the popular Curriculum Leaders course.

I loved facilitating our EYFS forum today. I feel very privileged to learn from and work with such a brilliant bunch of EY Leaders. To help us also channel our inner @ruthswailes.bsky.social & @aaronearlyyears.bsky.social
we now all have a copy of A Child Centred EYFS ✨

One of the many reasons why @marymyatt.bsky.social is simply brilliant is because she makes sense of the things that have become so unnecessarily complicated.
A beautiful piece offering clarity around meaningful assessment of the foundation subjects ✨✨

🚨Need to fill 30 minutes this week?

✨How about a wholesome experience of Oracy and democracy?

Why not press play on these resources and help your pupils contribute to the Curriculum and Assessment Review?

Available for Primary, Secondary and post 16...

One week left! I can’t help but wonder if a more considered approach would be to focus on the Curriculum & Assessment Review, then Ofsted could explore a complementary approach? Surely this is an opportunity for all parties to connect & collaborate at each step? To get it right this time ✨ #EduSky

The current national curriculum is ten years old.

In that time, teachers, leaders, children, parents, employers and many others have had a chance to gauge the WWW and EBIs.

Please share your wisdom and advice in the call for evidence.

New blog, "The lost art of planning".

It's 2 years since we started @teacherscollection.bsky.social
There are now over 200 plans, based on beautiful books, to support the primary curriculum.

I'll be doing on webinar on how to use great texts to power up the curriculum on Thursday 7th Nov at 4pm, huhacademy.typeform.com/TTC013-how-to

PRIZE DRAW: to celebrate the #researchED guide to Primary Literacy, we have a few copies to give away. Simply RT this to enter! Draw ends in 24 hours.

Come along to the accompanying primary conference in November. Details here: www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/researched...

Our Trust-wide Collective Learning Day is happening on Monday! This is a project I’m really proud of. If we invest in each other, we can collectively build children’s literacy and language.
Drawing on the context of our schools, classroom experience, research and inspired by some wonderful humans…
