We are delighted that Flying High CEO Chris Wheatley is a RISE advisor and two of our schools have been designated as Lead Schools in two of the key priority themes.
- Cotgrave Candleby Lane School, Notts – Reception Network Lead School
- Hollingwood Primary School, Chesterfield – Attendance and Behaviour Hub
Our Literacy Excellence Centre is also leading on a RISE Universal Programme around Literacy Attainment for all.
Literacy Attainment for all from Early Years to KS4
Following the success of previous RISE Universal Literacy programmes, the DFE have funded an expansion of this high-quality provision for 26/27 which our Literacy Excellence Centre is leading.
It provides English and Literacy support to schools, MAT and LA frontline and leadership teams in the East Midlands, focusing on securing Literacy Attainment for All by disseminating, showcasing and co-creating proven strategies for all settings including those experiencing disadvantage and those with SEND.
The project builds on previous regional support to exemplify, extend and embed effective literacy practice in schools. All provision has been devised and will be delivered by leading expert practitioners.
