We're launching a new project - The Writing Hub.
Over the last 4 years, we have used Comparative Judgement to assess over 500k pieces of writing, & have gained huge insights into what pupils find easy & hard about writing.
The Writing Hub is our way of sharing these insights.
Please RT: Our amazing Headteacher is retiring - which means there's an exciting opportunity available at @MPS_Northampton to lead us on the next steps of our journey! 🌟Come and visit our wonderful school or take a look below to find out more ☺️
