Transforming your school's reading culture (TSRC)

The TSRC programme is a sustained, research based CPD programme aimed at primary English/ Reading Leads, in schools who are already secure in their phonics provision. During the course of the programme participants will engage deeply with reading for pleasure pedagogy and leadership theory to transform their school’s reading culture.

Participants will attend all five sessions and complete gap tasks in between sessions. Those who commit will be expected to attend all sessions. Headteachers are invited and encouraged to attend session 1 and 5 as part of their commitment to the training. All sessions are free of charge and will be held at Lacey Green Conference Centre.

Programme aims:

Understand the research underpinning Reading for Pleasure (RfP) practice and pedagogy
Widen knowledge of children’s literature
Transform whole school reading culture in your school
Develop the leadership skills to initiate and sustain change
Become advocates for RfP and share experiences and best practice

PLEASE NOTE - All delegates will be expected to attend all sessions. It is essential you have your head teachers support before signing onto this programme and ensure you can be released from school, and have the capacity to attend for ALL SESSIONS.

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.”
