As schools prepare for the National Year of Reading 2026, now is the perfect time to reflect on how reading for pleasure is nurtured across your setting.

πŸ“š Transforming School Reading Culture (TSRC) is a sustained, research-informed CPD programme designed specifically for Primary English Leads who want to strengthen and embed a culture of reading throughout their school.

Throughout the programme, participants will: βœ… Engage deeply with reading for pleasure pedagogy
βœ… Explore leadership approaches that drive lasting change
βœ… Develop practical strategies to transform their school's reading culture
βœ… Collaborate with colleagues and reflect on their own practice

The programme consists of three face-to-face sessions at St Michael's C of E Primary School, with gap tasks between sessions to support implementation and impact. Participants are expected to attend all sessions to gain the full benefit of the programme.

If you're looking to inspire more children to read for pleasure and create a thriving reading culture across your school, we'd love you to join us.

✍️ How do children become confident writers?

Join Dr Alistair Bryce-Clegg for an inspiring and practical Free training day exploring how to teach writing in the Early Years.

Writing is about so much more than pencil control or letter formation. It involves physical development, language, communication, thinking, imagination and emotional confidence. Together, we'll unpack what writing really is and explore how to create environments and experiences that help every child see themselves as a writer.

During the day, we will:
βœ… Explore the developmental journey from early physical skills to symbolic representation
βœ… Challenge common misconceptions about "writing readiness"
βœ… Discover practical strategies for embedding meaningful writing opportunities throughout provision
βœ… Build confidence in supporting writing development across EYFS and into Year 1

If you're looking to develop a richer understanding of early writing and create a curriculum where writing is purposeful, enjoyable and achievable, this training is not to be missed.
