English Hubs
The 34 English Hubs were selected for their expertise in teaching reading and to support schools in their surrounding area. Hubs will promote a love of reading and help schools provide excellent teaching in phonics and early language. They will focus on supporting the slowest progress children in Reception and Year 1 and ensure every child is successful, regardless of background, needs or abilities.
English Hubs, what are they?
English Hubs offer support to local schools, academies, and free schools to improve the teaching of phonics, early language and reading for pleasure in Reception and Year 1.
Each English Hub has a Hub lead and Literacy Specialists and may offer:
- Showcase events in teaching phonics, early language and reading for pleasure
- Support to develop an action plan
- A reading audit in eligible schools
- Funding to purchase a DfE validated Systematic Synthetic Phonics programme and the training and resources required to implement it successfully
- Up to 12 days in-school support from a Literacy Specialist
