Everybody Writes: beyond the classroom

Encourage pupils to make links between the writing skills they learn in the classroom and the writing they do outside school by creating opportunities for writing at school and in the local community.

This guide provides suggestions, evidence and real examples to help you bring Everybody Writes to your school and embed a whole school writing culture.
