There are so many positives included in this review.
Am particularly pleased by the recommendations for PE, the focus on social justice and those who are not achieving in our current system and a focus on balance across subjects and ranges.
Excellent work

Looking to gather a small network of primaries to work with me in researching techniques for maximising the links between reading and writing. Ideally year 4/5 and some year 6 and ideally Chesterfield/Sheffield area or close proximity. Shares greatly appreciated.
