After being taught systematic synthetic phonics through DfE validated programmes for 2 years, 21% of Year 1 pupils failed PSC in 2023. Only 68% of Year 2 pupils met expected standard in reading SAT despite 89% passing PSC. Deafening silence from @NickGibb, @GillianKeegan & DfE.

As part of our Careers Week at Oasis Academy Limeside, the children have heard from their local PCSO Mr. Skinner about working for GMP. The children were fascinated and had lots of questions to ask! 👮 👮♀️
A huge thank you to @oasisacademyoldham for lending us Mr. Jacobs, who used to work for the Armed Forces and came to talk to the children of Limeside about his career and answer their questions
Next week Year 6 will be sitting their SATs tests. We know some children can find this a really stressful time, so please share this short social story with your child if you think it would help.

Shadow Education Minister, Bridget Phillipson MP, seeing the impact of Reading Recovery. Well done Kerry Clegg for organising the visit and thank you to @marine_school for your wonderful children, staff and governors for talking with such passion about making a difference.
I just love this so much! Very, very powerful. Yes to positioning our learners as capable, yes to problem solving as a community of educators because it is our professional and moral duty to find a way, yes to being constructivist, yes to Reading Recovery 💪🏼👊🏻
The incredible ineptitude and sheer waste involved in NTP is scandalous. Why didn't the government listen to experts in the field and solid research presented at the time? #ReadingRecovery
"Teachers should be supported to use a range of phonics teaching approaches, not just synthetic phonics."
Join us in urging the government to update policy in light of the latest research evidence on teaching reading and phonics.
