We offer bespoke support and training for all schools. To ensure this support is tailored to the needs of your school, we offer a free initial consultation with head teachers, senior leaders or through cluster meetings. School support can be delivered in-school or online.
We offer a range of support for clusters of schools including moderation or training around a key theme. Support can take the form of half days, full days or twilights depending on needs or budgets. We have many longstanding clusters that work with us and would be happy to share their experiences.
We can support teachers with the moderation of writing for their year group to ensure consistency across your cluster of schools. During half-day moderation sessions, teachers will be guided by STA trained consultants to focus on particular skills within their year group writing standards with a focus on addressing common gaps.
We offer leadership support catered to your school’s requirements which can include deep dives into English books, book scrutinies, analysis of data and lesson observations. From these reviews, a customised package of support can be devised for your school.
This can include:
● Moderation support
● Curriculum development (including the Welsh curriculum)
We offer a range of English development packages to suit your cluster’s needs which can be delivered as half days, full days or twilight sessions. These cluster sessions provide an opportunity for teachers across your group of schools to work collaboratively, discuss standards and focus on improvement areas.
Effective cluster packages include:
● Year group moderation
● Challenging greater depth writers
● Engaging with a thematic approach e.g. Shakespeare, Black Lives, Environment
We offer a range of literacy workshops for pupils that develop a love of literacy, enhance reading and writing standards and provide a wealth of teaching strategies. During these workshops, our consultants guide pupils towards effective writing outcomes using a range of engaging texts and a variety of resources. Teachers gain professional development throughout the bespoke sessions.
It’s not just the planning you get from the Literacy Company but guidance/videos of how to deliver. They are also on hand for any questions you may have or any support you may need. We really can’t fault them as a company or their resources.
