School Leadership

Equipping school leaders with the tools needed to raise literacy standards in every classroom

Empowering school leadership with sustainable literacy improvement

At LexiaUK, we partner with school leaders to make sustainable, school-wide literacy improvement a reality.

Our evidence-based literacy programmes, Core5® Reading for Primary and PowerUp Literacy® for Secondary, equip school leaders with the tools and data needed to monitor impact, support staff and raise literacy standards across every classroom.

Key Benefits

Strategic, whole-school literacy improvement

Our literacy programmes help leaders to align literacy development with school improvement plans, ensuring literacy is at the heart of teaching and learning. They also provide structure and evidence to support your school’s reading curriculum intent, implementation and impact in line with Ofsted’s focus on reading.

Real-time insights for proactive leadership decisions

With myLexia®, school leaders gain access to data dashboards that show pupil progress, identify reading support needs and demonstrate measurable impact to wider stakeholders (e.g. governors and Ofsted).

Reduced teacher workload

Personalised learning pathways and embedded assessments help to free up teacher time, enabling staff to focus on delivering high-quality literacy and reading instruction and intervention.

Empowering every teacher

Our literacy programmes are designed so that all teachers, regardless of their literacy background, can confidently support their pupils’ reading development.

Ongoing partnership and support

Our team of experienced literacy consultants provide training and implementation support to ensure long-term success, sustainability and impact.

Case Study - The Compton School

Testimonial Thumbnail - The Compton School

"Reviewing the data, I can clearly see a correlation between a child’s engagement with Lexia, and the reading progress over the year. There are several case studies that we have had within our school, particularly with disadvantaged students, with one student making nearly 4 years progress in her reading age!"
