Reading is prioritised through daily guided reading and vocabulary work, while maths is sequenced in small, connected steps with regular low-stakes checks so methods stay consistent between classes. Year teams co-plan and share high quality resources, including model texts, worked examples and ready-to-use intervention packs, which keeps preparation efficient and ensures your sessions dovetail with the curriculum. New colleagues receive a structured induction, weekly bite-size CPD and short coaching drop-ins with precise, usable next moves, giving you the conditions to show impact quickly and build evidence for initial teacher training.
