Children speak passionately about their reading and writing experiences. Teachers are deeply engaged and committed to nurturing every child’s potential. We enjoys the texts and planning sequences as much as the children!

Alli Crank, Headteacher at St John's & St Clement's CofE Primary School, London

Trust leaders and inspectors have repeatedly observed our children taking great pride in their writing, demonstrating confidence and ambition in their literacy skills.

Hilary MacMeekin, Headteacher at Noremarsh Junior, Swindon

In just one year, Literacy Tree has made a significant difference to how we approach teaching writing at Grangehurst. With the guidance of Pippa, our staff are now more confident in planning and teaching writing. It has been so lovely to see how engaged the children have been with the texts and their increased enthusiasm to write.

Katie Dominy, Deputy Head at Grangehurst Primary School, Coventry

The support, CPD and materials received from the Literacy Tree are second to none and our staff feel empowered and have the confidence to deliver high quality teaching, ensuring all the needs of our learners are met, especially when English isn’t the first language for the majority of our children.

Bryan Preston, Head of Primary at Norwich International School, Bangkok

With 6 years of Literacy Tree under my belt, I knew we’d see success, but the whole-school inset delivered by Lynn enabled us to launch this text-based approach in such a positive and intentional way

Annie Griffith, Deputy Headteacher at Sunmarke School, Dubai

Over the last 2 years, the Literacy Tree has changed our school for the better. The children are now much more enthusiastic about reading at home and at school. They are more confident about talking about reading and their attainment has improved. In terms of writing, this is where we have seen the biggest change. The children want to write. They have become passionate writers as there is a purpose to their writing and there is always an audience.

Libby Crane, English Subject Leader at St Gerard's Catholic Primary School, Birmingham

Our children achieve strong outcomes with English results exceeding national averages. Ofsted praised our pupils’ ability to “confidently explain how authors use imagery to develop characterisation.
