English Hubs
We are delighted to be working with our local English Hubs. English Hubs work with primary schools, in EYFS and Key Stage 1 to support the DfE’s 3 priority areas:
- Phonics and early reading provision including encouraging best practice in systematic synthetic phonics teaching
- Oral language development
- Reading for Pleasure
Their offer includes:
- Sharing of best practice in action at our showcase events.
- School-based audits of early language and reading provision.
- Become a Partner School to benefit from in-school support run by our team of Literacy Specialists.
- Funding or match funding schools to buy resources including validated phonics packages and training.
- Training in developing Reading for Pleasure.
- A Half-termly Reading Leader network of expertise to provide support and advice for leaders of English.
We are proud to be working with two English Hubs that cover the North East London Area: New Wave English Hub and New Vision English Hub.
