Achievement was good or outstanding in just under six out of ten of the primary schools visited. Pupils made most progress in speaking and listening because this was where most emphasis was placed in lessons. Although there were good examples of systematically planned reading, these were rare and even more so for writing.

However, students’ written work in Key Stage 3 was often too short, with single words, filling gaps in worksheets, and very little extended creative writing because students did not know, or could not apply, grammatical rules. In many of the classes observed, inspectors did not see students progressing from writing words, then sentences and then paragraphs, and written work did not underpin the spoken word.

mini-book n. a short piece of writing, in the form of a book or in another format that lends itself to being opened and read. It can be printed or handwritten.
