Showcase Events

St John Vianney Catholic Primary School is proud to be one of 34 schools across the country to become an English Hub and help improve reading standards. Our aim is to promote high quality phonics teaching, a love of reading and to support schools to teach children to read.

One of the ways to become involved in the Hub outreach support, is to attend a showcase event, which will provide participants with the opportunity to observe best practice in the teaching of systematic synthetic phonics and hear about the reading journey being undertaken by the Hub school.

The showcase event includes:

  • Introductory talk by the Headteacher explaining the key leadership decisions that have enabled reading success
  • A learning walk to see and discuss best practice in the teaching of systematic synthetic phonics and early reading
  • Research-based evidence woven throughout the sessions
  • Practical activities and ideas to take away to support action planning
  • How to choose and use resources effectively in the teaching of systematic synthetic phonics
  • Follow-up email/ telephone conversations/ materials for further support after the showcase with access to a free reading audit to support the action planning process.
  • Potential access to funding and literacy specialist support

 

Our next showcase is planned for January 2023. Please see our Eventbrite page for further details.
