Title : Why effective school project teams are the key to the successful development of Talk for Writing in schools

Last year, Talk for Writing trainers Julia Strong and Maria Richards were approached by the Aspire group of schools in Aylesbury to train the staff of 6 primary schools plus some secondary colleagues. The key aspect of this training was not the two training days for all staff, first in fiction and then non-fiction, but the role of the project teams in leading the project within their schools.

‘Inspirational training provided by Maria has supported our school in raising standards in writing from Foundation Stage to Year 6 which was recognised in our OFSTED inspection where results are now above the national average. Staff thoroughly enjoy teaching writing and our pupils are totally enthused about it and have gained in immense confidence in their own ability as writers!
