Opening Doors: English Subject leader session FREE

This is an unusual opportunity for leaders of English in primary schools to hear from award winning author Bob Cox about some of the ways exciting, challenging and ambitious English is being developed in schools using the ‘opening doors’ approaches. It’s free of charge just for this one-off session!

Bob will explore not just ‘what’ the opening doors approaches are but ‘how’ English Leads are making exciting changes and building a rich English curriculum. This will include:

• An explanation of the key principles that can help you inject ambition and challenge into English
• Brief case studies and reference to the work of opening doors schools.
• Advice on planning and routes to whole school use of challenging texts, past to present and across the globe.

The session will be live and not available afterwards as a recording.
