Six half-termly units across one academic year, covering all four strands of the programme of study. Reading opens the year because writing improves fastest in students who have just read closely, and spoken English closes it because it draws on everything the other five units build.

The six units:

Ten sections per unit, in the same order every time. Lessons are one row each rather than a page each — enough to teach from, and little enough that a department can actually keep it up. Every unit maps to the statutory programme of study for key stage 3 English (DfE, 2013).

For heads of English, subject leaders and every teacher who has to deliver it. 34 pages, A4 PDF.

If you use it, a review would be very welcome
