Support for Your School
We are delighted that you are interested in accessing support from Ramsbury English Hub.
All our support is free, funded by the DfE through the English Hubs programme.
Our aim is to provide high quality support to enable your school to develop excellence in teaching reading through systematic synthetic phonics and early language, as well as encouraging a love of reading among your pupils.
Funded Training Courses for Middle Leaders
Our funded training courses are designed to provide tailored professional development for Middle Leaders, with a strong emphasis on research-based strategies.
Our programmes include:
The Supporting Early Language Development programme, aimed at Early Years leadership to help implement strategies for language development, including for children with speaking and understanding difficulties.
The Reading for Pleasure: Transforming Your School’s Reading Culture programme is designed for primary English Leads to deepen their understanding of reading for pleasure pedagogy and leadership, with the goal of transforming their school’s reading culture.
Additionally, the Reading Ambition for All: Teaching Children Who Need the Most Support programme focuses on effective phonics teaching for children not meeting age-related expectations, especially those with SEND. The course equips educators to assess, plan, and teach reading using research-backed methods and strategies.
See our brochure for more information.
Funded Courses for Teachers and Practitioners
Whether you’re a primary teacher, English lead, or EYFS practitioner, our tailored courses offer valuable insights and hands-on training to improve literacy provision in your school.
See our brochure for more information.
Leadership Conference Events
We run Leadership Conferences across our region throughout the year. Guest speakers provide strategic insights into latest research-rich pedagogy to improve literacy outcomes for all pupils, particularly those at risk of falling behind.
The half day events are in person. There are two places available per school. One must be the Head Teacher for the school to apply for resource funding or fully funded specialist teacher support.

Early Reading Audits
Our Literacy Specialist-led audits help schools assess current practices, identify areas for improvement, and create actionable plans to enhance early reading provision. The process includes a conversation with school leadership, a learning walk, self-assessment, and co-writing an action plan. We also assist in applying for up to £9,000 in SSP resource funding.
To find out if you are eligible for a fully funded audit, please complete this short enquiry form.
Resource Funding
Schools can apply for up to £9,000 to support the cost of resources, training, and decodable books for a DfE-validated phonics programme. Schools are encouraged to match fund, but this requirement can be waived if your school meets DfE funding criteria, such as the last published Phonics Screening Check result below the published national average or percentage of pupils eligible for Pupil Premium is above the recently published national average.
To find out if you are eligible for funding, please complete this short enquiry form.
Intensive School Support
Eligible schools can apply for fully-funded, intensive support from our team of Literacy Specialists, receiving up to 12 support days over 2 years. This bespoke partnership programme includes learning walks, co-created action plans, leadership training, and further training for key staff.
