This webinar will provide headteachers, senior leaders, English leads, teachers and practitioners with advice and practical guidance on incorporating stretch and challenge into the primary English curriculum, thereby ensuring that it sets high standards and ambitious aims for all pupils, aligned with the government’s vision for education.

In its White Paper, ‘Opportunities for all: strong schools with great teachers for your child’, the government sets out its ambition for a school system that helps every child to fulfil the height of their potential, and reiterates its ambition that, by 2030, 90% of children will leave primary school having achieved the expected standard in reading, writing and maths. 

In this webinar, Chris Whitney, international literacy consultant, moderator, writer and former deputy headteacher and teacher, will explain how schools can evaluate and adjust their English curriculum to ensure delivery of a broad, ambitious, and knowledge-rich curriculum which sets high expectations for and raises attainment of all pupils.
