Training

My main aim when providing training and consultancy support for schools is to empower teachers to teach phonics effectively and enthusiastically throughout the school day as well as during the daily phonics lesson.  Effective and enthusiastic delivery of the school’s chosen phonics programme is essential to learning and the key to successful early reading and spelling.  Schools are free to choose from a number of Systematic Synthetic Phonics (SSP) programmes but must follow their chosen programme with rigour and fidelity at every stage of the planning, teaching and assessment cycle.  This requires high-quality training specific to the programme for all staff involved in monitoring and delivering it, with regular updates for even the most experienced members of staff.

My training is specifically matched to the Letters and Sounds programme and is suitable for schools who have used the programme for many years as well as those who are new or returning to it.  I offer a range of training  (*) including packages of training and support for schools wishing to make a longer-term commitment to improving their phonics provision. All my training is suitable for teachers, teaching assistants, subject leaders and senior leaders, and I also work with parents, volunteer helpers and governors.  Some of the options are outlined below but training is always tailored to meet the specific requirements of your setting and if you require something Phonics / Literacy related that is not mentioned, I am happy to discuss this with you.

The EEF Guide to Pupil Premium recommends schools take a tiered approach to Pupil Premium spending. Teaching should be the top priority, including professional development, training and support for early career teachers and recruitment and retention.
