The DfE has published its new Writing Framework, which has been co-created with input from a range of sector experts, including academics, leading practitioners, the EEF, Ofsted, and other stakeholders, including me! 😊 Find out more here: www.gov.uk/government/p...

Looking forward to speaking about leading literacy across a trust next week, and listening to the other speakers at the ASCL Literacy and Oracy conference! @ascl-uk.bsky.social

Was great to be at the englishassociation.bsky.social GCSE English reform event today at The Globe! Also brilliantto catch up with @xris32.bsky.social and meet @draperel.bsky.social!

'Oracy is not a ‘thing’ that we do in a performative ‘look-at-us-doing-oracy’ dance, it is a range of teaching practices, whole school routines and subject specific curricular objects.' Brilliant. It's not for leaders to cherry pick bits of oracy because it encompasses/underpins EVERYTHING. ❤️
