We are delighted to announce that ESSENTIALWRITING has been shortlisted for the Education Business Award for Primary Resource.
The awards celebrate innovative educational products and services that support teaching and strengthen pupil engagement across the primary sector – recognition that reflects the transformative impact ESSENTIALWRITING is having in classrooms nationally.
Developed by our English team, ESSENTIALWRITING is a researchin formed writing curriculum that places authentic purpose and audience at the heart of every unit. More than a scheme of work, it offers a fully sequenced, schoolwide approach that builds pupils’ confidence, independence and writer identity. Teachers benefit from clear, carefully structured guidance that strengthens subject knowledge and reduces planning workload, while pupils experience high quality modelling, meaningful composition opportunities and rich discussion woven throughout.
Schools using ESSENTIALWRITING report significant improvements in pupils’ confidence and outcomes, alongside greater consistency and clarity in teaching. Leaders also praise its dual function as embedded professional development, supporting both experienced practitioners and those new to teaching writing.
We are proud that the impact of ESSENTIALWRITING has been recognised at a national level and extend our congratulations to all schools, teachers and pupils whose work with the resource has contributed to this achievement.
The winners of the Education Business Awards will be announced later this year.
