The head of English at Wembley's Ark Academy has taken one step closer in making her idea for promoting good grammar a reality after winning £11,000 in a national competition.
Amy Hanna was among 147 teachers across the country to apply for the funding as part of the annual Let Teachers SHINE (support and help in education) competition.
She will use the money to get her educational YouTube project off the ground.
She said: “Grammar can affect a student’s written communication, confidence and chances across the curriculum."
"My YouTube channel , Miss Hanna Loves Grammar , can support all key stage 3 students and will be particularly useful for students reading at an age below their peers," she said.
"The pilot will include creation of 150 engaging and age-appropriate videos, covering basic grammar rules and to employ flipped learning techniques to create more opportunities for the deliberate practice of grammar."
SHINE, an educational charity which provides support to school children, runs the annual competition which looks to find supportive ideas in schools.
