"The positive vibe around the school is amazing and today I am experiencing it myself as my Deputy is out and I have led the big writing with her class. I wish I taught all the time!"

Nik Smith, HT, St Peter's CEP School, Kent

Big Writing

'Big Writing' is a completely new approach to the teaching of the skills of writing. It is highly effective for pupils from Reception to Key Stage 3, and has an immediate impact on writing standards. Ros and her colleagues have evidence of pupils moving up to seven sub-levels in a term. Indeed, the talented teacher who adopted the approach and named it 'Big Writing', enabled a boy in Year 2, (in a low socio-economic setting located within an EAZ) to move from a level 2C in September to a level 4C in the following July. This is evidenced on the 'Raising Standards in Writing' course, and in the second publication, 'Strategies for Immediate Impact on Writing Standards'.

Thousands of teachers are now using this approach across the country. It has been praised by HMI in their monitoring of schools in category, and its impact has been recognised in OFSTED reports.

The approach has also been found to be a huge motivator for boys, who are quickly found to become 'excited writers'. It is also highly successful for bilingual pupils, because of its clarity and structure. In the 'Quick Impact Strategies' course, evidence is provided of a boy with English as an additional language, in a low socio economic setting, moving from level 3B to level 5 in one term before the May tests.

Teachers, Managers and pupils are all excited about Big Writing.
