They’ve arrived!
Really proud of this. The product of 3 years work with an amazing team Claire Woozley Amy Rose Daniel Blackburn et al OrmistonAcads
I am SO EXCITED that this arrived while I was at work. It’s going to be an essential book for any English teacher, Head of English, Trust Lead - how to plan and implement a knowledge rich curriculum.
So pleased to have contributed - thanks to David Didau for being so generous.
Very productive team day working on curriculum and writing progression.

I’m just going to share again this blog I wrote last year.
We find ourselves again in the midst of mock marking and I really think the focus is on the wrong things - the grade isn’t the important bit, the patterns and the feedback are.

Huge H/T to David Didau for his leadership and support and getting me started on all of this.
Here’s a short blog about how my planning process has shifted, now that I use a visualiser so often in my lessons. It might be interesting to someone!

Tom Bennett OBE It depends. If 'coursework' were genuinely the work of the course, done in classrooms, then I think it could be reasonably fair. Once you allowed students to take the work out of the classroom, it was always hard to authenticate, and with AI, now impossible.
A *wonderful* day spent watching students grow in confidence and talk about some really interesting topics. Thanks Talk The Talk: Oracy for coming in, and for students from Venture Academy Victory Academy and CNS for being so brave and working so hard!
