Fantastic day with our TextSavvy Enfield partnership fully underway!

We met c30 schools to cover the evidence around the science of reading and principles of vocabulary teaching. And took time to cover effective professional development!

Looking forward to a great two years ahead!

Ever thought about what disciplinary literacy feels like from a student's perspective?
Here, one of our Y12 students talks about the decisions she made about subject, style and accessibility when writing a scientific article for the school magazine.
One of the many things we love about @nikika.bsky.social is how she finds creative ways to present a familiar (to us) concept.

This blog is very special, and reminds us that it's a privilege to do what we do: researchschool.org.uk/norfolk/news...
