Raising Standards in Reading & Writing at End of KS2 / G&T
Name of School: Wilbury Primary Contact person: Fran Wilson - headteacher.wilbury@enfield.gov.uk
The focus of the project is:
1. Will use of the Accelerated Reading Programme and the Alan Peat INSET programme improve the standards of reading and writing among more able pupils in Yrs 5&6?
2. Wilbury Primary will be the lead school.
3. Oakthorpe will share their experience of the AR prog so we can avoid potential pitfalls and St John & St James, who are at the early stages of developing their Literacy G&T provision, will be able to join the INSET.
Describe how your proposed project is innovative and explain how it ensures the development of excellence? Previous reading and writing initiatives have been aimed at less able pupils or those just below national expectations. This will be the first time an initiative has focused on the development of higher order reading and writing skills and the subsequent pursuit of excellence.
