Boys' achievement

Here are summaries of two very useful documents from Ofsted:
Boys' Achievement and Yes He Can - schools where boys write better

and then there are  the new.Literacy In...materials that have now been sent into all schools as CD ROMs and also.5 tips for Literacy Co-ordinators

Literacy skills are important across the curriculum because:

All schools will have provided staff INSET, using some of the modules in the cross-curricular training folder.

Your school will almost certainly have a Literacy Co-ordinator and a member of SMT with overall responsibility for literacy.

These have a strong cross-curricular element. Speak to your Head of English, who has reponsibility for delivering these to students who come into Y7 with L3 in English, ie below the L4 that is expected at that age. Their level of literacy skills might be making it difficult for them to access the curriculum.
