At Lacey Green English Hub, we believe that EVERY child deserves the opportunity to learn to read. To support this mission, we are offering a free virtual training event for Governors from all schools, designed to provide essential knowledge, confidence, and practical tools to support and challenge reading provision in your setting.
This session will help you understand your strategic role in supporting Phonics and Early Reading and how this aligns with the Department for Education’s expectations.
