Literacy Interventions and Support
For those less able readers, including those with SEND the Academy has established a clear, graduated programme of reading and phonics interventions that enable these students to access appropriate supportive provision to help them make progress in their reading. This provision is jointly led by the SEND and English teams and draws on a variety of specialist and trained staff.
Our ‘Tiered Literacy Support’ programme is outlined below, along with ways in which you can support your son/daughter.

Monitoring and assessment of student Literacy
On entry to the Academy, all students’ literacy skills are assessed by:
- NGRT reading tests
- Lucid extract reading tests
In addition, less able readers (as identified by these measures, and/or as flagged during the primary transition process) receive an additional phonics screening conducted by the SEND team. This information is then used to provide targeted literacy intervention and support for those who need it.
Alongside this baseline testing, all students will annually take an NGRT reading test, to assess their progress in reading specifically. Students’ writing and speaking skills are assessed through the curriculum as part of ongoing formative and summative assessments. This data collectively allows us to track students’ progress and reading age over time, and provide personalised support.
