The latest OFSTED Inspection Framework has a clear focus on the lowest 20% of readers, with a mandatory deep dive into early reading and reading in primary schools for graded inspections and as part of a focus area for ungraded inspections. Reading – and phonics – will also be a significant area of a secondary school inspection too!
There is an expectation that reading is a high priority for all schools so that all pupils become fluent, confident readers. This course focuses all aspects of the reading curriculum and provides practical guidance and resources to support the lowest 20%.
