Reading and writing underpin every student outcome, but most trust leaders still lack precise, actionable insight into what pupils can and cannot yet do. In this session, Dominic Bristow—former teacher, Director of Education and founder of 𝐬𝐭𝐲𝐥𝐮𝐬—will share how their DfE-backed programme is helping trusts grow beyond the reliable insight of 𝐬𝐭𝐲𝐥𝐮𝐬' AI marking towards rapid writing improvement at unprecedented scale.

As the sector prepares for a renewed focus on the English curriculum, Dominic will draw on new evidence of impact in 𝐬𝐭𝐲𝐥𝐮𝐬’s longest-standing trust partners to show how trustworthy, transparent assessment automation can support stronger moderation, sharper CPD, better-targeted intervention and clearer strategic insight across a trust. The session will give MAT leaders a clear view of where writing assessment is heading—and how they can help shape a model of improvement that is granular, rigorous, teacher-led and ready for the curriculum moment ahead.
