Opening Doors Approach to English

We are delighted to be the East Riding of Yorkshire and North Yorkshire Hub for the Opening Doors Approach to Ambitious Primary English. We are hosting Twilight Sessions for you to be able to learn more about this approach and transform writing lessons in your setting.

‘Opening Doors’ is all about making challenging texts and a quality English curriculum available to all learners. Bob Cox and his team support schools to ensure access and excellence is at the heart of planning and entitlement.

The sessions will show you how to:

1. Pitch lessons beyond the most advanced pupil

2. Scaffold and intervene as appropriate for others

3. Link quality texts from the past to the present and across the globe

4. Exploit the potential of literature, including poetry, to give scope for new learning and deep knowledge acquisition as well as general knowledge

5. Plan for sequencing and progression of knowledge via concepts in English
