Leadership Voice Counts: 

Here is what school leaders who use Ready Steady Phonics have to say about the resource. 

“There has been a strong impact through the quality CPD as part of the Ready Steady Phonics training. All staff from leadership through to our TAs feel confident and competent in delivering a high quality phonics diet for our children. All staff have a sound understanding of how we teach phonics and why we do it using the progression documentation that is part of the programme. Staff are adept at ensuring children overlearn and use effective pedagogies to ensure learning ‘sticks’ and children apply their learning in a variety of contexts.  

Phonics lessons are now refined and ensure they are consistent across year group classes and phases. Staff use common ‘patter’ and children are able to feel familiar and confident in Phonics lessons due to the consistency and precision teaching being delivered.” 

-Barnton Community Primary & Nursery School, Northwich 

“Literacy Counts has done so much for Grange. Without it, we probably wouldn’t be in the position we’re in today. We now have whole school consistency, knowledgeable staff, confident staff and brilliant outcomes across the school.” 

-S Albiston, Head at Grange Community Nursery & Primary School, Winsford
