Improving Literacy through Metacognitive Strategies
Metacognitive strategies enable students to plan, monitor, and evaluate their reading and writing with greater independence. This INSET equips teachers with practical, research-informed approaches to embed metacognitive talk, modelling, self-regulation routines, and structured reflection across subjects. Participants explore how to teach students to understand texts more deeply, craft analytical writing, and approach challenging tasks with confidence. This course helps schools strengthen whole-school Literacy and close gaps through high-impact, evidence-based practice.
Improving Reading in Secondary Schools
Strong scientific enquiry skills are the foundation of meaningful learning and a key driver of curiosity in the primary classroom. Primary Science Investigation & Scientific Enquiry provides teachers with the tools to embed high-quality investigation, reasoning, and evidence-based thinking throughout KS1 and KS2. Participants learn to plan purposeful enquiries, model scientific processes, develop pupil questioning, and assess progression with confidence. This INSET empowers science leads and teachers to deliver enquiry-rich lessons that deepen understanding, promote independence, and elevate scientific thinking across the curriculum.
