English Hubs: facilitating excellent teaching of reading and early language in Reception and Key Stage 1 

We are delighted that you are interested in the support in early language and reading teaching that we are offering as an English Hub. Our aim in 2025/26 is to provide high quality insight and advice to enable you to develop your own excellent practice in teaching reading through systematic synthetic phonics and early language, and encouraging a love of reading amongst your pupils.

Some of the support we offer:

  • Attending a showcase of best practice in the teaching of early language and reading through systematic synthetic phonics.
  • Developing your own action plan for improving teaching of early language and reading.
  • Up to £6,000 financial support to buy phonics resources and training that you have identified in your action plan.
  • A detailed in-school audit of your teaching provision, for those schools that would most benefit. 
  • Partner school programme, to benefit from in-school support run by our team of Literacy Specialists.
  • Training in developing Early Language and Reading for Pleasure.
  • A network of expertise to provide support and advice to leaders.

Please complete a self-referral form providing as much information as possible. We will use this to prioritise amongst schools where there are more applications than we can accommodate.
