Talk for Writing at its very best! 😀 Check out Penn Wood School 👍
✏️Lovely video from @PennWoodSchool in Slough – one of our Training Centres.
Penn Wood is a 3 form entry school. 89% of children have English as an additional language & 37% receive Pupil Premium.
91% of the children reached the expected level in writing in the SATs using TfW.

"Which handwriting scheme do you use?" A question I get asked often.
But how do you secure good handwriting?
I'd argue it has nothing to do with a scheme, and everything to do with securing enough accurate practice i.e. high rigour & repetition
P.s. I love this kerfuffle star
Don’t miss this! 😜
The news is out!
🔊 Sound on to listen to a taster of Talk for Teachers with Pie Corbett, launching next month.

It's time to open the Box...
The Box of Delights began #OTD in 1984 on BBC1. But what became of the @RadioTimes cover star, Devin Stanfield? @PatrickMulkern found out last year: radiotimes.com/tv/fantasy/bo…
A great resource to have! Check these out 😀🤩👍

At my age I am not really in the business of selling books but I do want teachers to have access to drama as a powerful teaching tool - that's why I wrote books with simple practical ideas. Please RP to anyone who may benefit.
What a wonderful afternoon Andrew! I wish I could have joined in 😃👍
A great afternoon in @StJamesYear6 learning about #farming which we love doing at @StJamesChorley
