| dc.description.abstract | Background: The purpose of the study was to raise attainment in writing in schools identified by LEA as having a gap in levels of attainment between reading and writing, by setting targets, conducting guided writing group work, and improving independent writing skills. Aims: The main aim was to raise attainment in writing to bring it in line with reading, by setting targets, conducting guided writing group work, and improving independent writing skills. Methods: The participants included a leading Year 6 teacher, Local Authority Literacy Consultants, Headteachers, Middle Leaders, National Strategies Consultants, Senior Leadership Teams, Subject Leaders, and Teachers. Methods used included focus teaching, target setting, modelling of guided writing, impact on whole class, use of success criteria, and peer learning with close support of lead teachers. Findings: The main findings are that the programme was successful in raising attainment in writing, with 16 out of 18 children achieving NC Level 4. Teachers were more confident in using guided writing and APP grids, and the teaching of writing was embedded as good practice across staff. Implications: The findings suggest that targeted focus teaching, setting clear targets, modelling guided writing, and making children aware of their progress can have a positive impact on pupil learning. This can be achieved through CPD sessions, resources, and collaboration between teachers. | en |
