Our approach has a clear sequence to the teaching of the craft of writing which can result in quality outcomes every time. Our lessons are carefully sequenced from the inception of an idea, to the development of vocabulary and the teaching of grammar that leads to effective planning and writing.

The Teaching Sequence incorporates the following six stages:

1. Immerse
2. Analyse
3. Skills
4. Plan
5. Write
6. Review

It was developed by Teresa Heathcote, Literacy Consultant, who developed the teaching sequence which has improved outcomes across the board in the schools that implemented it. The approach is informed by the most recent research, including the Education Endowment Foundation and the recent Ofsted Review of English 2022.
