The Challenge

Schools are facing increasing pressure to support language and literacy.

Many pupils struggle to understand and express their ideas, structure their sentences and communicate confidently. This impacts their ability to access
the curriculum and achieve their potential.
Without a consistent, structured approach, schools face rising needs, inconsistent practice and variable outcomes.
