Writing Mastery

Teaching writing at Key Stage 3 can be challenging.

We know that many English departments nationally have fantastic literature curriculums at Key Stage 3, but how does their language teaching look? 

Teachers we work with have told us that student comprehension of vocabulary and grammar is a concern, and some Heads of Department report that their teams are not as confident in teaching language constructs compared to literature. 

This has massive implications for the development of these skills in students and will have repercussions on closing the word gap. A poor mastery of the fundamentals of language can often inhibit young people’s ability to say exactly what they mean and express how they feel. We want students to be able to articulate complex ideas with clarity, accuracy and creativity.

We're therefore delighted to announce the release of the Writing Mastery strand of our full English Mastery programme as a standalone offer.

As with all our programmes, Writing Mastery includes everything that your team will need, including:

• a well-sequenced and interlinked KS3 writing curriculum – ensuring students develop key skills
• integrated training and professional development – helping the department to develop confidence in their writing mastery teaching 
• a full suite of classroom planning and delivery resources – available on MyMastery in bite-sized units, for easy implementation.
