Our Next Event
We are looking forward to working with schools nationally to watch children fly with their reading with Little Wandle Letters and Sounds Revised. So exciting!
4Effective Online Teaching
English Hubs
34 English Hubs have been designated by the DfE across the country. This initiative launched in October 2018, is aimed at achieving excellence in literacy focussing on developing children’s language, phonics and reading skills and promoting a love of reading. Little Sutton Primary School in Sutton Coldfield, has been appointed as your local English Hub.
As a Hub we will be working to provide support to 85 schools in the 2019-20 academic year. Support this year will include:
- An opportunity to attend a Phonics Showcase to explore high quality provision in phonics and early reading.
- An opportunity to apply for funding for staff training and to purchase resources to support the teaching of phonics and early reading. (£3000, matched funding or £6000, unmatched in some cases).
- An opportunity to work with an English Hub Literacy Specialist to review and improve delivery of phonics and reading in your school.
All schools are welcome to work with the Hub. Attending a showcase is a great opportunity for schools to understand the whole support offer available to them from the English Hubs Programme.
