“I believe Literature Works contributes to the development of good and outstanding teaching.”

“Literature Works is tangible within our learning environment. It acts as a cornerstone of our curriculum and teacher planning. Pupils are keen to explore the key ideas within a text through high quality discussion, text related activities, including drama and writing. Indeed, pupils see writing as purposeful and relevant. Planning for reading has led to an improved writing process that we believe enhances the standard of writing across our school. ” Mark Outterside, Headteacher, Westerhope Primary, Newcastle |
