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 school. Our aim in 2024/25 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.
The support that we can offer includes:
- 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.
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.
New Vision English Hub CPD
Transforming Your School's Reading Culture - Leadership for RfPTaking bookings now for 2024-25We are excited to share the Transforming your School's Reading Culture CPD aimed at Literacy leads. The TSRC is a sustained, research based CPD programme aimed at primary English Leads. During the course of the programme, participants will engage deeply with reading for pleasure pedagogy and leadership theory to transform their school’s reading culture. Participants will attend 5 sessions and complete gap tasks in between sessions. All prospective participants will be required to complete an audit of their school's RfP provision in order to join the programme. Schools where the priority needs to be phonics should not take part this year but may be interested in sending teachers on the RfP Workgroup (see New Vision English Hub website) which is tailored towards individual class teachers rather than Literacy Leads. To express an interest in the Transforming Your School's Reading Culture Programme, please complete this form. About the programme facilitatorsThe sessions will be facilitated by Katharine Young (Deputy Head) and Sam Creighton (Literacy Lead). Both trainers are based at Elmhurst Primary School and are experienced in developing RfP in the classroom and more widely. Katharine wrote the TSRC for the wider English Hub network and is supporting other Hubs in the roll-out of this programme. Elmhurst Primary School was awarded the UKLA Literacy School of the Year for 2023. |
