Supporting our early writers with the new Writing framework

27 November 2025 9am – 4.20pm Subject The King's School in Macclesfield, SK10 4SP

This course ran by Helen Battelley and Jan Dubiel, will challenge assumptions about early writing practices in light of the new DfE Writing Framework, interrogate widespread approaches to early writing in EYFS settings, draw on the latest evidence from leading ECEC experts and research and examine how transcriptional and compositional skills combine effectively in early writing development.

Helen Battelley, a renowned movement and physical development consultant, offers specialist insight into how early movement, sensory integration, and gross motor development lay the foundation for confident, capable writers.

Jan Dubiel, an internationally recognised specialist in Early Years assessment and curriculum, brings a deep understanding of policy, pedagogy, and how to translate developmental research into meaningful practice.
