These networks provide opportunities for: Staying updated on subject-specific developments, such as new resources or reports Exchanging ideas and strategies for effective teaching Collaborating on curriculum design and implementation Supporting new subject leaders in their roles Hearing from experts and exploring wider research in their field
Led by Jonny Allams
This two-part CPD programme provides a clear, practical framework for improving writing across the curriculum. Combining a focus on foundational skills with high-impact pedagogy, it supports teachers to develop confident, fluent writers in every classroom. In Part 1, teachers strengthen the building blocks of writing - securing transcription, developing sentence construction and expanding vocabulary - through practical strategies that support accuracy and confidence for all learners. Part 2 builds on these foundations, exploring evidence-informed approaches to teaching writing. Participants will refine their use of modelling, scaffolding and purposeful planning, learning how to design coherent sequences that lead to high-quality outcomes. Literacy and creativity expert Jonny Allams shares practical, classroom-ready approaches, drawn from over two decades of supporting schools to improve literacy. Teachers will feel enabled to teach writing with clarity, consistency and impact, ensuring all pupils can write with accuracy, fluency and purpose.
