Is creating an embedded reading culture across school a priority for you? 

Are you struggling to engage every child in reading for pleasure? 

If yes, then our upcoming CPD could be for you. 

The Transforming School Reading Culture programme is a sustained, research-based CPD programme aimed at primary English Leads in schools that have already embedded a successful systematic synthetic phonics programme (PSC results over 82%). During the course of the programme, participants will engage deeply with Reading for Pleasure (RfP) pedagogy and leadership theory to transform their school’s reading culture. 

Participants will attend five sessions and complete gap tasks in between. The sessions will be held at the Outwood Institute of Education, DN6 7EQ; however, there will be an option to attend virtually.

There are also optional workshops, designed to complement and enhance the core programme offer. These 30 minute workshops will be run remotely by New Vision English Hub and will focus on specific, practical elements of creating an RfP culture. 

All the sessions are fully funded by the DfE and are an excellent way to develop new or existing leaders in a subject that is crucial to every child’s progress.
