Secondary Audits

Supporting reading across the secondary curriculum

The New Wave English Hub works with secondary schools to strengthen reading provision, develop staff expertise and improve outcomes for pupils.

Our secondary reading audits provide an opportunity to review your school's current approach to reading, celebrate existing strengths and identify priorities for further development. Working collaboratively with school leaders and staff, we explore how reading is taught, assessed and supported across the curriculum, with a focus on evidence-informed practice and improving access to learning for all pupils.

Whether you are looking to develop a whole-school reading culture, strengthen disciplinary literacy or improve intervention and support for pupils who struggle with reading, an audit can help you identify practical next steps tailored to your school's context.

The audit is collaborative and developmental, recognising the work already taking place in your school while identifying opportunities to strengthen provision further.
