New Early Years, Key Stage 2 and Key Stage 3 Support Programmes

We are delighted to announce that, from September 2026, the English Hubs programme will be expanding in the most significant development since its launch eight years ago. 

Alongside our existing support offer, schools will now be able to access additional targeted support across a wider age range:

  • Early Years support focused on developing strong foundations for language, communication. 
  • Key Stage 2 support for schools seeking to strengthen decoding, reading fluency and wider reading provision. (This offer is particularly suited to schools with secure Key Stage 1 phonics practice and outcomes.) 
  • Expanded Key Stage 3 support, building on the success of the 2025-26 pilot programme. 

Each programme follows our established support model: 

  • A funded audit to identify strengths, priorities and areas for development. 
  • The opportunity to become a Partner School and receive bespoke support from one of our Literacy Specialists. 
  • Access to potential funding for resources, training and implementation to support sustainable improvement.

If you would like to access support, please complete the relevant self-referral form below. 

We look forward to working with schools to strengthen reading outcomes and ensure every child becomes a confident, successful reader.
