“Our children now have a much greater understanding of sentence construction and the purpose of their writing. We have moved so far away from the "I don't know why you’re asking me to do this” to children wanting to talk about and show off their new skills.

“Mastery in Writing is the organised, streamlined and refined approach that I think all teachers of primary English were looking for. I’m enjoying teaching English much more than I have done for years!”

Holy Family Primary

“The project has brought about key improvements in teaching and learning.

• All children are able to access the learning through carefully thought-out tasks and clear lesson structures.
• Children build confidence and motivation through small, personalised successes.
• Dedicated time for oracy development is embedded into planning, supporting vocabulary, reasoning and communication skills.
• Feedback from staff has been very positive. Teachers report improved lesson clarity, stronger pupil engagement and great progress across the cohort.”

St Wilfrid’s Primary

“Children thrive when learning to write using the Mastery in Writing programme. Listening to my Y2 children speak with such deep understanding and enthusiasm about their writing and grammar knowledge is a joy. Seeing the results in children’s confidence and motivation is a privilege. This approach is transforming children’s writing and staff enjoyment of teaching English in our school.”

Sacred Heart Primary

“We are really enjoying Mastery in Writing and we can already see a real difference in the quality of the children’s writing, as well as in their knowledge and use of grammar. The books that have been chosen are excellent. They are really engaging for the children and have worked really well in lessons.” 

St Anne’s Primary

“The scheme has shifted the culture of writing at our school.  We are delighted with the impact it is having on our children’s outcomes and their enjoyment of writing.”
