In summer 2025 the Department for Education are launching training developed by Professor Jessie Ricketts at Royal Holloway, University of London. The short online training package is for all secondary school staff and will enable them to support reading in all secondary students. The training includes a package for all secondary teachers and a package for school leaders. It outlines theory and research findings, and practical strategies that can be embedded in any secondary classroom. The training was co-created by Professor Ricketts and teachers and school leaders with a range of knowledge and expertise in reading and secondary contexts.
Calling secondary schools! We are looking for secondary schools to trial this CPD course. If you are interested, please complete this form by 25 April 2025.
