xIntensive Support

Intensive support is at the heart of the English Hub programme where eligible schools can benefit from our highest level of support, which includes funding and bespoke school-to-school support from one of our Literacy Specialists.

Partner schools benefit from funding up to £6,000 towards the cost of phonics training, resources and decodable books as well as an assigned literacy specialist who provides up to six days school-to-school support.

We are only able to offer this level of support to schools that meet two of the eligibility criteria below:

• lower than average percentage of pupils meeting the expected standard in the phonics screening check (82%);
• a higher than average proportion of pupils reading below age-related expectations;
• a higher than average proportion of children eligible for pupil premium (22.9%);
• Ofsted judgement of Requires Improvement or Inadequate;
• a high proportion of groups considered hard to reach such as boys;
• schools referred by local partners (e.g. NLEs, LAs, Opportunity Area teams).

If your school meets two of these and you would like to get involved in the English Hub programme, please complete a self-referral form by clicking on the LINK below and we will contact you shortly.
