Excel request: does anybody have an academic year calendar template on excel for next year? This may save me possible hours of fiddling!

Today we've announced an exciting new update to our writing assessment resources - the No More Marking Writing Progression.

We've been developing this for a couple of years now, and have worked with The Writing Revolution on the latest version. @TheWritingRevol

Using the ABC oracy strategy as presented by @KingHenrySchool yesterday. Year Ten are using it to discuss their upcoming presentations, and evaluating how well they know their topic, and how well it works with an audience. Thank you :) @EAS_LLCEnglish @AversLea @IslwynEnglish

A really useful overview! Thank you @MrsClarkEnglish

I have created a document to support our subject leaders with #disciplinaryliteracy across a range of subjects as a starting point for editing and developing into their own curriculums. Created with the help of AI to really drill down into key aspects of #literacy #edutwitter

An incredible first session of the etymology course. We really enjoyed exploring the origins of the English language and how our history has influenced the language we use today. Looking forward to the next one! ☺️
