"In a pupil voice survey 2025, 100% of children said they liked writing lessons and were proud of their writing in books. The impact of our approach has been recognised by external evaluators. Trust leaders and inspectors have repeatedly observed our children taking great pride in their writing, demonstrating confidence and ambition in their literacy skills."
