Reading Ambition for all

Teaching all children who need the most support, including those with SEND

This is a brand new DfE programme, launched for this academic year. This programme will enable participants to become familiar with the principles for how to teach all children to read and how to use this guidance and resources from their own SSP programme.

Let’s get all children reading!

Programme details

The Reading Ambition for All programme has been developed by drawing on expert advice from disability charities, leading academics, the EEF, validated SSPs, school leaders, practitioners, Ofsted, the reading framework, the SEND code of practice and wide evidence base.

Participants will attend all five sessions and complete gap tasks in between sessions. All sessions are free of charge and will be held at Lacey Green Conference Centre.

These five sessions will cover:

1.The guiding principles of teaching SEND in mainstream school

2.Understanding children’s needs; ensuring access to learning

3.Adaptive teaching and appropriate adaptations to use in class

4.Leading reading: High expectations for every child; using assessment to create specific and effective support using your SSP programme

5.Supporting children with a more complex SEND

Programme Aims

  • to improve outcomes for children who need additional support with reading, including those with SEND

  • to ensure that all children receive quality-first teaching based on the latest research into how children learn to read

Headteacher- Stockport

“Thank you for a fabulous day, it was informative and thought provoking. The demonstrations were particularly helpful in phonics and the guided Reading ”.

Phonics Lead- Tameside

“I would like to thank all concerned for the day on Friday, because not only was it well-organised and full of useful information, but everyone from Lacey Green was very open to supporting those of us attending the course, readily offering advice and listening to our thoughts. This made the day extremely useful and enjoyable”.

Headteacher- Cheshire East

“Thank you for allowing us to attend your showcase on Friday. It was very useful and gave us lots of food for thought!”

Deputy Headteacher- St Helens

“The support we have received from Lacey Green English Hub has been invaluable. We now have a very strong team of reading teachers who love teaching phonics. The impact it has had on our children has been amazing and this year we've got the best phonics score we have ever had. We can't thank you enough.”.

Assistant Headteacher and Reading Leader- Stockport

“We have benefitted tremendously from the support of the Lacey Green English Hub in many ways. I have been upskilled as a Reading Leader and feel confident to deliver quality practice sessions and coach in RWI lessons. Our staff are very welcoming to coaching and are keen to improve with the coaching steps they have worked on. I am able to scrutinise our phonics data to ensure that we are targeting specific children and groups of children for extra support so that they keep up with their peers. Since working with the English Hub we have seen a 23% increase in our Phonics Screening Check data.”
