The clear and detailed planning sequences are another huge advantage of Literacy Tree's curriculum. This solid foundation gives teachers the time to consider how to personalise the learning to the needs of particular classes, as well as unleashing enormously imaginative ‘hooks’ into a book.

Corinna Bliss, Head of English, British School of Brussels

This text-rich, spiral curriculum - with its purposeful mix of genres - has been a game-changer. It has undoubtedly been the driving force behind one of the most positive changes we’ve seen in our school.

Aimee Hart, Deputy Headteacher, Goffs Oak Primary School, May 2025
