Following the overwhelming success of the Priority Literacy Programme in Nottingham and Derby, the Department for Education is now funding to extend this exceptional provision to the whole of the region through the East Midlands Universal RISE offer. Please click through the brochure above to find out what FREE literacy support is available to your school.
The Priority Literacy Project
Working in partnership with the Priority Area Local Partnership Boards in Derby and Nottingham, the Department for Education funded a programme of literacy support to improve English results at KS2 and KS4. Led by a consortium of local, trusted providers, the Priority Literacy programme provided evidence-based activities to address the priorities identified by the Local Partnership Boards. In Derby, the Board prioritised KS2 literacy and KS3/4 reading and writing. In Nottingham, the Board prioritised cross-phase reading and KS2 writing.
All state-funded primary, secondary and special/alternative provision schools within the Derby and Nottingham Local Authority areas had access to a range of CPL, Literacy Specialist support and resources through this programme.
Found below, the Impact Review celebrates the progress schools and children have made in their literacy journey as a result of participating in this project.
