Ros Wilson

The creator of Big Writing, Ros is passionate and committed to raising standards in writing and education generally. Her concepts have helped many schools to raise standards in the UK and around the world.

Ros Wilson has over fifty-five years’ experience in education, including twenty-seven years in schools, ten years in Senior Management positions and fourteen years in advisory and inspection work. She has taught in primary, middle and secondary schools in England and overseas, and has wide experience in teaching and advising on raising achievement for pupils with English as an additional language and also pupils with special educational needs.

Ros has a Masters Degree in Education, specialising in assessment. As Education Adviser for the curriculum and assessment, her work on classroom management and organisation through a child-centred approach to education, positive reinforcement, raised self-esteem, and empowering pupils in the learning process has been published on several occasions.

Ros published a number of books in the past, on teaching writing, on the importance of talk and on the curriculum. She now focuses on writing and her consultancy, specialising in training, advising and supporting in schools. She is an articulate and humorous speaker who consistently provides entertaining but focused and informative advice that is specific and current. She is also a thoughtful and thorough researcher, who maintains direct contact with children and teachers, working in classrooms to ensure her advice and materials are relevant.

Since semi-retiring, Ros has had the opportunity to fulfil her life aspiration of writing books for pleasure and the first two were published in May 2020. ‘It’s Just a Journey with Ros’ is a humorous autobiography that tells the stories of many of the journeys of different types that Ros has made in her career, both in the United Kingdom and further afield. ‘Bonkers Boris Meets the Mayor’ is written for children aged 7 to 12 and is both funny and entertaining. It is hoped that both books will bring pleasure and entertainment to their readers.
