About the role:
As Whole School Literacy and Reading Coordinator, you will lead the strategic development and delivery of whole school reading and literacy initiatives. You will play a critical role in improving the quality of teaching and learning in literacy across the whole academy, ensuring that consistently strong, evidence-informed practice leads to improved outcomes for pupils in all subjects.
A central aspect of the role will be the leadership and coordination of whole-school reading and literacy intervention programmes.

You will play a key role in professional development, delivering high quality CPD to build staff confidence and consistency in teaching literacy across subjects. Improving outcomes for all pupils will underpin your work, with a particular focus on disadvantaged pupils and those with SEND, supporting inclusive practice and high expectations for literacy for all.
