At Carlton Academy Trust, we are privileged to serve brilliant communities in West Yorkshire. We’re proud of where we are, but the social and economic challenges of our region mean that sometimes we have to take radical action to improve the life chances of our students… ⬇️

It was my turn at work to do Thought For The Day and normally I think of my own but today I just read out every word of this banger of a blog from @tstarkey1212 stackofmarking.wordpress.com/2016/01/10/qui…

New post! This is our write-up from the excellent session which @DamsonEd did for The Literacy Community on Reading assessment, comprehension and interventions in secondary back in October… theliteracycommunity.com/2024/11/17/rea…

We are so grateful to @DamsonEd who just gave an absolute masterclass on reading tests and comprehension to 120+ members of The Literacy Community. Wonderful stuff! Sign up to the mailing list (in bio!) to get our key takeaways later this week ✍️

PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT 📣 The Literacy Community fairies have woken up from their customary three week nap, where they hide from September’s chaos… They’ve been busy at work today, so watch out for news of LITERACY FUN coming your way soon… 👀

@Ms_Holyoake @FunkyPedagogy @CarltonKeighley Thank you! We were very lucky that our event coincided with the fantastic graduation celebrations for students at @CarltonKeighley. SOMEONE may have ‘borrowed’ the balloons and then stealthily returned them to the hall afterwards… 😂🤫

@FunkyPedagogy @LiteracyCommUK @CarltonKeighley Enjoy! I hope it goes well ☺️ Love the balloons! 🎈

Some great discussion and ideas coming from the first Literacy Community round table event - key threads shared below & many interesting ones to consider in regards to your own English provision and community needs

12/… Look out for a Literacy Community email in the coming weeks (or don’t - have a holiday and come back to it later!) with plans for 2024-25. Well also be in touch with everyone who has volunteered to host a Roundtable event next year…
