As we begin the new school year, and look back on what was an extraordinary summer term, we want to share our reflections on the conversations, ideas and energy that have shaped discussions over the past few months.
What started as an invitation to come together and talk about the future of English has grown into something much bigger.

Let’s Talk English is our invitation to rethink the purpose of English — to imagine what a richer, more inclusive and more meaningful experience of the subject could look like.
Since the campaign launched in March, we’ve run six forums with teachers and sector leads across the country.
