What learner doesn’t want to take part in a lesson about zombies, right? The subject matter engages younger KS3 learners from the start and is used to deliver skills related to oracy, reading and writing.

Pupils will be taught to understand increasingly challenging texts through learning new vocabulary, relating it explicitly to known vocabulary and understanding it with the help of context and dictionaries; write accurately, fluently, effectively and at length for pleasure and information through summarising and organising material; and supporting ideas and arguments with any necessary factual detail.
