Literacy Excellence Centre
Literacy Excellence Centre
Welcome to the Literacy Excellence Centre, a brand new professional community dedicated to the development, support, research and resources that drives practice and improvement for the teaching and leadership of Literacy.
The LEC is for teachers and leaders in primary and secondary schools.
We want all children and students to thrive within their English, reading, writing and oracy learning opportunities and we know that is best achieved through support and development of teachers.
Building on the work of the English Hub, the LEC is a place where teachers and leaders can access high quality professional development and school improvement opportunities as well as the latest research and resources to ensure the very best learning outcomes for children and students.
The Centre is led by Carl, who has over 20 years experience in primary education. He has held many senior positions including headteacher and Flying High English Hub Strategic Lead, as well as being a member of the National English Hub and leader of the DfE Priority Literacy project.
Membership of the LEC
The LEC aims to become the ‘one stop shop’ for all things Literacy, underpinned by 4 pillars: Problem solving, passion for teaching, research and expertise.
We want schools and practitioners to be at the heart of this, supporting each other.
We aim to enable the best expertise and space for you to discover all things literacy. We take research and make it meaningful by bringing it to life in the classroom and offer high quality training and development.
