Last Monday, during our Literacy Day, we had the pleasure of welcoming Ilona (Weir) Thorne Literacy Lead and Assistant Principal at Matford Brook Academy to explore strategies for supporting student writing.

🔎 Our discussions were grounded in the EEF model of Expanding Student Language and the Disciplinary Literacy Tree.

A huge thank you to Ilona for sharing invaluable insights! Our trainees spent some time creating a structure strip in their subject areas and are looking forward to implementing these and others strategies in the classrooms.
