Secondary School Support

The English Hubs are running a new pilot project in order to support Secondary Schools in helping their struggling readers in KS3.

The aims of the pilot are:

• To support secondary schools to take a whole school approach to reading

• To support secondary schools to improve outcomes for pupils with reading needs

• To increase knowledge on supporting reading in secondary schools

This pilot will cover supporting struggling readers with their needs which may include phonics, fluency and/or comprehension.

This support is free of charge and participating schools will receive:

• A reading provision development day with tailored support from a Secondary Literacy Specialist

• £100 contribution towards releasing the Reading/Literacy Lead on the development day

• Up to £3,000 in resource funding to support improving reading which can be spent on resources for phonics, fluency or comprehension or on training or assessment materials

• A follow up half day visit tailored to the schools needs

• Potential further tailored support days from a Secondary Literacy Specialist
