Improving literacy in secondary
schools: a shared responsibility
Soon after his appointment in January 2012, Her Majesty’s Chief Inspector of
Education, Children’s Services and Skills, Sir Michael Wilshaw, gave a speech in
which he declared: ‘Improving standards of literacy must be a priority for all our
schools.
’
He made a commitment to help in improving national standards in literacy by
introducing a greater focus on literacy in school inspections and by publishing a
detailed survey of what works best in secondary schools to improve literacy across
the curriculum.
This survey drew on visits to seven secondary schools identified in earlier inspections
as effective in delivering cross-curricular improvement in literacy.
The visits were
carried out in schools across England between June and October 2012.
