dc.description.abstract	Background: The purpose of the study was to use the arts to enhance the storytelling approach and measure the impact on speaking, listening, and writing outcomes for pupils, with the aim of sharing the outcomes more widely throughout the cluster. The project also provided coaching support for other FS and KS1 colleagues, as well as KS2 colleagues, and the Headteacher provided time at staff meetings to share key outcomes with staff. Aims: The main aim of the project was to use the arts to enhance the storytelling approach and measure the impact on speaking, listening, and writing outcomes for pupils, as well as to share project findings with other colleagues throughout the school and provide coaching support for teachers. Methods: The participants included two teachers, the Headteacher, and other staff from the school and the local area. They shared experiences and findings of using storytelling as a teaching strategy to improve speaking, listening, and writing outcomes for children. The methods used included training, modelling, learning conversations/coaching, collaborative enquiry/classroom enquiry, drawing on CPD materials, research, and expertise, and sharing project findings with other colleagues. The CPD approaches were used to measure progress towards success criteria and to measure the impact on pupil learning, with the Headteacher providing time at staff meetings to share key outcomes more widely with staff. Findings: The main findings of the project were that storytelling can be used to improve speaking, listening and writing outcomes for children of all ages. Teachers shared their successes with each other and the wider school community, leading to greater confidence in their own abilities and a keen interest in using the arts as a vehicle for writing. Implications: The findings of the project suggest that storytelling is an effective strategy for improving speaking, listening and writing outcomes for children of all ages. The project also highlighted the importance of collaborative learning experiences and professional learning conversations for successful implementation of the strategy.	en
