The renewed Framework for secondary English provides guidance on planning and teaching to ensure effective progression. It is designed to support schools in raising standards and closing attainment gaps, with the particular aim of increasing the proportion of pupils who make two levels of progress within a key stage and who attain grade C or above at GCSE.
The new objectives for English build on the previous Framework and are now:
- expressed as objectives for pupils' learning
- based on the new programmes of study
- extended to Key Stage 4 (and include a number of higher level extension objectives related to more complex and challenging learning)
- organised by the three language modes of Speaking and listening, Reading and Writing plus a fourth section, Language.
The renewed Framework will help you:
- plan for progression with a Framework of learning objectives linked to examples and guidance
- create high-quality teaching and learning guidance on teaching approaches
- develop approaches to assessment and target setting that promote learning and achievement
- develop effective subject leadership
- ensure pupils' progress through inclusion, differentiation and intervention.
