This course is aimed at teachers and leaders in upper KS2 who are teaching and targeting pupils to achieve at the highest level in writing.

Teachers will develop their subject knowledge of the components of writing at the highest standards in writing in Years 5 and 6 and the course will focus on developing pedagogical understanding in key areas: giving practical and strategic approaches for how to develop these skills in pupils, how to engage and support all learners and a focus on shared, guided writing and editing.

The course will include:

·  An observation of teaching and learning in English at this level

·  Analysis of high quality writing

·  Development of teacher subject knowledge

·  How to use shared writing, guided writing and editing in the classroom to best effect

·  Practical ideas and techniques to teach the knowledge and skills required – including engaging writing tasks to embed the teaching of high level grammar expectations - ready for immediate implementation

·  How Visual Literacy can be used to create high quality outcomes

·  Strategic discussion of Literacy overviews, the teaching of grammar and spelling and whole school writing culture.
