THE COURSE

This is a DfE funded research based CPD programme aimed at EYFS and KS1 practitioners, such as the early years lead, English lead and SENDCo.

Programme Aims:

  • To provide teachers and other education professionals with an evidence-based approach to teaching early reading and phonics effectively to pupils not making expected progress, including those with SEND.
  • To support schools to analyse the specific needs of children not making expected progress and explore practical ways to remove barriers to success and plan for appropriate interventions.
  • To explore generic adaptations to validated SSP programmes that will improve outcomes for pupils who need more support, including those who have SEND, whilst also maintaining fidelity to schools' chosen programmes.

Participants will be expected to attend all 6 sessions across the year.  Each session will run for approximately 2.5 hrs, light refreshments will be provided. If not already attending the course, headteachers will be invited to join delegates for Sessions 1 and 5.
