As an English Hub our aim is to support schools to achieve excellence in early literacy teaching through an initial focus on:

• Developing early language and closing the word gap
• Developing early reading through systematic, synthetic phonics (SSP)
• Promoting a love of reading

The first step to accessing English Hub Support is to complete our self-assessment form (please see attachment below)

Following receipt of this form we may be in a position to offer you an audit.  The audit will consist of one of our Literacy Specialists visiting your school to observe and discuss your reading, early language and phonics provision.

After your audit, funding and match funding support may be offered to help schools to buy resources and training.  Funding can only be used to to purchase validated SSP training and resources.

Once your school has been audited you might be offered the opportunity to be a Partner School where you will receive up to 12 intensive support from one of our trained Literacy Specialists over the course of 2-3 years.

Please refer to the attached powerpoint for more detailed information about our offer.
