Our audits help schools to identify current good practice, highlight areas for development and plan clear, achievable next steps towards excellent phonics teaching.
An audit will offer expert advice and support for eligible schools from one of our Department for Education-trained Literacy Specialists.
The audit process usually lasts one day (depending on size of the school) for which eligible schools can claim £100 for the release of the Reading/Phonics Leader.
“Our children are now reading books that match their level on a daily basis and our results are already on the up! Thank you to all of the audit team and we look forward to working with the hub more in the future!”
