Whole School Reading & Writing Support

A practical, collaborative approach to improving reading, writing and language across your school.

This may include:

• reviewing your current English curriculum and provision

• identifying strengths and areas for development

• supporting progression in reading, writing and oracy

• developing approaches that build language across the curriculum

• strengthening links between talk, reading and writing

Support can be adapted to focus on specific priorities, including:

• early language and communication

• oracy and spoken language development

• reading engagement and understanding

• writing structure, composition and confidence

• supporting pupils working below age-related expectations

• strengthening consistency across year groups

Support is tailored to your school and may include a combination of:

• curriculum review (long-term and medium-term planning)

• lesson visits to understand current practice

• pupil voice to identify barriers and engagement

• staff discussions to align priorities and next steps

• modelling or supporting practical strategies in the classroom

• guidance on improving writing outcomes through stronger language foundations

​​

This is not a one-size-fits-all programme.
It is shaped around what will have the greatest impact in your school.

This support is ideal for schools who:

• want to strengthen their English provision

• are looking to improve writing outcomes

• recognise gaps in language and communication

• want a clearer, more consistent approach across the school

• are looking for practical, realistic strategies that can be sustained

​

Strong reading and writing outcomes begin with strong language. 

By focusing on how children develop vocabulary, organise ideas and communicate effectively, this approach strengthens the foundations needed for success across the English curriculum.

The aim is not to add more, but to refine what is already in place so it works more effectively for your pupils.
