Secondary Literacy

The LLC Team offers a wide range of professional learning opportunities. Please see the EAS Professional Learning Offer  for English and literacy, including opportunities provided by Partner Schools. 

Please use the contents page on page 2 to direct you to our current PL offer. 

The LLC English Partner schools engage in activity to provide support which is accessible by all schools in our region. Lead teachers and school colleagues are:

• creating, trialling, sharing resources for teachers and pupils through our English and Literacy networks, Professional Learning offer and Supporting Our Schools site;

• providing bespoke support for middle leaders, teachers and teaching assistants, brokered through the  Curriculum Partner.

In 2023-2024, a selection of primary and secondary schools were represented by teachers on Teach like a Champion 'Reading Reconsidered' professional learning programme. Participants were trained on strategies to improve the proficiency of pupils’ reading. Please see below a selection of case studies produced by participants.

In 2022-2024, a selection of primary and secondary schools were represented by English teachers and literacy leads on ‘The Writing Revolution’ professional learning programme. Participants were trained on strategies to improve the proficiency of pupils’ writing using ‘The Hochman Method’, an explicit set of sequenced strategies for teaching expository writing that can be integrated into any content. Please see below a selection of case studies produced by participants.

In this section, Skills Leads and Literacy Coordinators can find over-arching guidance documents, examples of key documentation, and resources to support planning and consistency for literacy across the curriculum in secondary schools. 

This adaptable excel tool from the EAS Curriculum Team can be downloaded and used by all skills coordinators for a variety of purposes, such as to map provision of cross-curricular skills or to exemplify the development, application and progression of cross-curricular skills through embedded hyperlinks to pupils' work.
