Wonderful to see this progress in Reception. September to November. Incredible progress using @Talk4Writing ! @habsgirlsschool

Using a story map allows the children in the nursery to visualise characters, events, and settings. Daisy has enjoyed sharing the story of How to Catch a Star with the class using a story map. @DeltaStrand @PieCorbett @Talk4Writing @HMSWizardFS1 #HowToCatchAStar🌟

Fab day with the @Talk4Writing family. Always so much to reflect upon as we continue to grow.

Also great to have the annual data drop: TfW training centres continue to significantly outperform national averages in all subjects, despite most serving very challenging communities.

What an utterly inspiring day at Yew Tree Community School, Birmingham! The passion for oral storytelling through @Talk4Writing was utterly infectious, as well as high expectations for all. A truly inclusive school! @PieCorbett

[East Whitby Academy @EastWhitbyPA]

@MrWalkerPrimary @itspeterbrown I’m glad you cried too

[Bridget Phillipson @bphillipsonMP]

Brilliant to meet staff and students at @stmichaelsb21 today to talk about driving high and rising standards, while fostering a sense of belonging in schools.

We want every child to achieve and thrive, the two go hand in hand 🤝

[St Michael's C of E Primary Academy, Handsworth @stmichaelsb21]

It was our privilege to welcome the Secretary of State for Education @bphillipsonMP to St. Michael's today. Even the little matter of three escaped guinea pigs couldn't ruin the day for staff and children! It was lovely to talk all things community, families and education.

[Samantha Reed-Drake @SamReedDrake]

A day of the warmest smiles, incredible TFW practice and inspiring learning @catherineinf @jane_ralphs
I highly recommend a visit to this incredible @Talk4Writing Showcase School! ⭐️

P6/7 successfully co constructed their non fiction writing toolkit this morning. #T4W @YvonneDaub @Talk4Writing

I've never really understood why other subjects should dictate what the next class book is. Books should be selected because they'll make the children gasp, laugh, cry, think and empathise, not because there's some heavily contrived link to Squirrels & Submarines. #Edutwitter
