In-school or remote support

Our consultant trainers work collaboratively with the leadership team and staff to ensure all children learn to read and write. New schools find that one Development Day per term helps get them off to a secure start. We work more regularly with schools needing intensive support.

During the Covid-19 crisis, trainers can work remotely with you via Zoom for 4 hours split into sessions throughout the day.

They help with the assessment, organisation, tutoring the slowest progress children and the best provision for children learning from home.

"Our Consultant Trainer is relentlessly positive and engaging about the programme."

Helen Borley, Headteacher

Mount Stuart Primary, Cardiff

As our Reading Leader is absent from school at the moment her support was invaluable. She worked closely with my new EYFS lead inspiring her and her team to move the phonics teaching on. She supported us to organise new groups to start on Monday and made extremely helpful suggestions regarding who should be in which group and who we need to tutor. Her enthusiasm is infectious and her demonstration of one to one sessions inspired my whole RWI team. Whoever said phonics and learning to read isn’t fun needs to watch Ashlin teach, a magical experience for my children! Fingers crossed our budget allows for a third Development Day next term.
