Episode 9 - Effective literacy training and a school funding update

In this first podcast of the new school year we discuss effective literacy teaching, and find out what the evidence really tells us about this crucial topic. We also have a funding update following the Secretary of State’s announcement of additional money for schools earlier this summer. Earlier this year the Education Endowment Foundation released two reports highlighting a range of practical, evidenced-based recommendations for the teaching of literacy in primary schools. NAHT Edge Edge director James Bowen spoke with Sir Kevan Collins and Tom Martell from the EEF and Rosendale Primary School Headteacher, Kate Atkins to find out more about the key messages form the reports.
