To be completed by: 15:00


Time: Thu 22 May 2025 09:00-15:00 | Venue: Woodlands Suite Steeton Primary School


Struggling to engage reluctant KS2 writers? This one-day course introduces a proven, practical approach to boost confidence, build essential writing skills, and raise outcomes—ideal for supporting boys, SEND, and low-attaining pupils.

The Challenge

Across KS2, reluctant and low-skilled writers often struggle to find purpose, confidence, or motivation for their writing. Among these learners are disproportionately high numbers of boys, pupils with SEND, and those learning English as an additional language. Without targeted, engaging support, this group risks falling further behind—not just in English, but across the curriculum, where written expression underpins success.

 

The Solution

This one-day CPD course explores why so many KS2 writers struggle—and equips you with The Art of Writing, a high-impact approach using micro-writing techniques to boost confidence, develop skills, and raise outcomes from day one.
