A thought-provoking and relevant scheme for KS3!” This resource has been a brilliant addition to our non-fiction curriculum. The theme of activism and identity really engaged our Year 8 students—thoughtful, timely, and perfectly pitched. The range of texts and writing tasks encouraged real discussion and allowed for meaningful progress in both reading and writing. A well-structured and high-quality scheme—thank you!
