You may wish to be aware that the Department has issued our new writing framework earlier today. It can be accessed at: The writing framework - GOV.UK.
'The Government has committed to strong foundations in reading and writing for all children and the writing framework is the first step in our longer term plan to help teachers to support all pupils to become confident fluent writers.
This evidence based guidance gives simple, practical advice about how to teach writing in reception, key stage 1 and key stage 2 and is based on teachers’ experiences, classroom observations and research, as well as the contributions of experts. It is for all primary school leaders and teaching staff and will also be of interest to those who want to know more about how pupils learn to write including:
- initial teacher training providers
- early years providers
- secondary teachers
- teachers in specialist settings'
