Writing is Primary

“ There is no doubt in my mind that Writing is Primary has breathed new life into a long-standing issue which was stuck in the rut of short-term fixes.” Head teacher, Bury The issue that the Writing is Primary action research programme set out to address was how pupil learning, enjoyment and achievement in writing at primary level might be improved. This report describes how teachers across a number of schools were encouraged to try new approaches to the teaching of writing, including developing their personal creative skills – and how this journey of discovery enabled them, in turn, to inspire their pupils to write with greater pleasure and purpose. www.esmeefairbairn.org.uk
