Strong writing underpins success across subjects by enabling explanation, argument, and analysis. Prioritise explicit teaching of sentence construction, cohesion, vocabulary, and genre moves; model planning and revising; and provide frequent, low‑stakes writing with rapid feedback. For literature, use model responses and guided annotation to make authorial methods visible, then scaffold students toward independent critical essays. Interleave literary context, comparative analysis, and terminology to deepen conceptual understanding.

High maths attainment drives future opportunity, with GCSE maths a gateway to further study and work. To shift outcomes, protect daily maths time, deploy subject specialists, and use diagnostic assessment to tailor instruction before teaching. Prioritise problem‑solving through non‑routine tasks, mathematical reasoning, and collaborative structures. Combine explicit instruction for new ideas with spaced practice and frequent retrieval. Pair these with targeted, time‑bound interventions for identified gaps, and build teacher confidence via ongoing professional development to sustain gains over time.
