In English at River Academy, our Year 7s have been learning how to analyse language using the first of Tom Needham ‘s skills for analysis. So proud of what they’ve produced after our first term of studying Gothic Monsters!


Tom Needham Thank you so much for your visit to Hanley Castle yesterday. The English Dept really appreciated all your practical ideas and Explicit English Teaching insights. So excited to introduce them to our students after half term. Great CPD to finish the term 🙏



We dived into the Tiered Vocab model in another briefing. Tom Needham has written some great blogs on Tiered vocab 🙌






1. Focus on modelling how to craft arguments. 2. Model weaving opinion and argument using voice through a piece of writing. 3. Practise the mechanics - grammar, devices that might suit. 4. Play around with structure - love Tom Needham on paper 2 writing for this.
