Training & Support
In our latest episode we're joined by special guests from two UK Multi-Academy Trusts - Tallyia Charalambous, Director of English at Laidlaw Schools Trust and Graham Findlay, Secondary School Improvement Lead at Bishop Wilkinson Catholic Education Trust.
Tallyia collaborates with senior, subject and literacy leads across her Trust to raise standards in English and instil a lifelong love of reading and literacy. Drawing on her bilingual upbringing, she champions language diversity and innovative approaches to literacy.
Graham works with key members of his Trust’s Executive team to develop and implement their secondary phase improvement strategy. He has a particular interest in developing strategies to support disadvantaged pupils.
Together with our host Berjees Tata, Education Advisor for MATs, they explore how their respective school Trusts are transforming student transitions from primary to secondary education by placing literacy and assessment at the heart of the process.
In our regular Data Spotlight feature, we explain how insights from the New Group Reading Test (NGRT) can be used alongside the Cognitive Abilities Test (CAT4) to support students at transition.
