Preparing for the PSC - Hayley Pyrah (Hub Lead) - 12th Apr 2024

Starting a Blog - Jodie Matthews (Strategic Lead) - 11th Mar 2024
Recently I was invited to present at a Hub National Event on the Roade English Hubs marketing strategy, and I had the opportunity to work with Lucy, the Hub Lead at St Wilfreds English Hub.

Our blog will be written by a member of the Hub team, not always by me, and will cover a range of topics and aim to answer questions that we often get asked. The Hub team consists of a team of Literacy Specialists with a range of teaching and leadership backgrounds, all with an extreme passion for reading and teaching children to read and love reading.
