• A six stage, structured approach to teaching writing based on memorable experiences

• Uses frameworks and mnemonics, which remain constant to all genres, to aid organisation

• Involves self‐assessment, peer assessment and goal setting –children take ownership of their own work

What is IPEELL: Improving Writing Quality?

"Participating pupils made approximately nine months’ additional progress compared to similar pupils who did not participate in the

intervention."EEF, Using Self‐Regulation to Improve Writing, 2014

13

• Develops positive attitudes towards writing

• Works alongside existing writing strategies and does not rely on additional expensive resources

• Is class‐based and does not need to be delivered through intervention groups

• Is easily adapted to reflect changes to English curriculum requirements


Why does it work?

Heading here

14

“You don’t forget the order because it’s there for you.”“The more real experiences you have the better writer you become.”

“It helps me to structure my writing where before I just wrote everything down in any order.”

“It helps us to understand what we need to include the next time we write and shows how much we improve each time.”

“It has helped me to plan out my writing more easily and to set myself targets.”


Children’s comments

15

“It makes children care about their writing.”“Children become more competitive with themselves.”

“AfL discussion becomes more focussed and analytical. The children scour their work for evidence of success criteria.”

“IPEELL has given pupils a solid framework to use as an effective planning tool for their writing.”

“IPEELL has enabled pupils to be far more independent in their writing.”“Positive attitudes have contributed greatly to increasing pupil self

confidence.”


Teachers’ comments

16

“Since the last inspection, you have changed the school’s approach to teaching writing. Teachers ensure that pupils are inspired to write with a clear purpose, for example writing thank you letters following a school trip or writing that is linked to the local war memorial project. Since the last

inspection, standards in writing have improved.” Billinghay Church of England Primary School: Lincolnshire, March 2017

Lower KS2: Teachers provide opportunities for children to write for a range of real purposes and audiences in different forms, such as narrative, explanation and description using a range of sentence structures and grammatical features. Upper KS2: Children should be able to reflect their understanding of the audience for and purpose of their writing by selecting appropriate vocabulary and grammar, including understanding how such choices can change and enhance meaning.KS3 and KS4: Students should continue to develop their knowledge of and skills in writing, refining their drafting skills and developing resilience to write at length.
