Witham St Hughs English Hub
Witham St Hughs English Hub is one of 24 English Hubs that were selected for our expertise in teaching reading and supporting schools in our surrounding area. Their role is to support schools to develop the Department of Education's (DfE) three main aims, with a particular focus on the lower 20%. The three priority areas are as follows:
1. Early language development: providing evidence-based approaches to early language development and closing the word gap in school-based early years settings.
2. Age-appropriate phonics provision: encouraging best practice in systematic synthetic phonics teaching from school-based early years provision to the end of Key Stage One.
3. Promoting a love of reading: encouraging reading for enjoyment.
English Hub Impact 2020/2021
Witham St Hughs English Hub is your local English Hub and we have matched funding (up to £3000) available for your school to access.
Funding can be used for your SSP programme's training, teaching resources and/or decodable books.
Funding can be accessed by schools with a Year 1 cohort (Infant, Primary and Special).
All you need to do is complete and return the attached self-referral form to Witham St Hughs English Hub.
We will then confirm what can be included in the funding and how much can be reimbursed by the English Hub.
