And as the standards expected of pupils become ever higher, so the need for all those who work with them to ensure their own literacy skills are regularly reviewed and refreshed is increasingly important. There was a time when asking children to practice their multiplication or complete a worksheet headed Life in the 60’s might pass largely unnoticed in the classroom; now, if everyone is doing their job properly, you’re as likely to be called out on such crimes against the English language by Jacob in Y5 as by the staffroom’s resident pedant (you know who we mean).
