## Resource

Are outcomes in Writing holding your GLD back? Join Ashlie McGreavy, Director of Early Years at Carlton Academy, as she talks through how her team transformed writing outcomes by focusing on the fundamentals - systematic teaching, staff collaboration, and the right tools in the right hands. Ashlie discusses why physical development matters more than people think, how triangulating phonics, reading, and writing keeps everything joined up, and why small, deliberate changes tend to beat big overhauls. It's a practical, honest look at building a whole-school and Trust wide approach to embedding effective practice to enable early writers. An essential listen for Trust Leads, Heads, EYFS Leaders and Teachers looking to raise outcomes in writing.
