This practical Toolkit has been put together to support anyone involved in the effective leadership of primary English, across EYFS, KS1 and KS2.

It asks the key questions: How effective is the teaching of English in your school? Do you feel you have the right knowledge, skills and tools to be able to support and challenge effectively? Can you see your impact on others around you?

And supports you in answering them so you can:
* articulate curriculum intent
* develop strategies for successful implementation
* measure and communicate impact

The easy-to-use audits and frameworks have been tried and tested in schools, providing focused analysis, evaluation and evidencing of impact. They will support you in your role within the school improvement cycle, increase provision and outcomes for pupils, and boost your confidence in communicating progress and impact to senior leaders in your school. The toolkit can be used as a complete package or individual components can be selected and customised in Word to reflect your school's context and priorities.

Are you a teacher or English subject lead looking to reboot writing in your class or school?

This practical toolkit will help you set out your intent, implementation and impact for writing, and support you with planning, assessment and moderation across the school. You'll be able to tailor teaching to children's needs and your school curriculum, bringing in your own creative ideas and texts, around which to structure planning.

This suite of documents provide structure, consistency and support for pitch and progression so children's writing skills are systematically developed across the school.

The Planning platforms are the starting place for year group teachers to plan for the teaching of writing. Teacher Assessment Frameworks are the finishing point for assessing attainment. The Progression Charts are supporting documents which group the objectives within the Planning Platforms so that progression across year groups and key stages can be seen for every objective. Bridging Documents form a further supporting document for each year group showing how the statements within the Planning Platform lead towards each 'pupil can' statement in the Teacher Assessment Framework. The Writing Toolkits also contain annotated portfolios of children's work to support effective moderation, indicating features that exemplify pupils who are working at the expected standard for the year group.

Used together, these resources result in an improved writing curriculum and clear expectations for primary writing in each year group.
