Theale Green School
How structured support improved GCSE outcomes
At Theale Green School, Lexia has transformed literacy support into a structured, data-informed, and highly motivating journey that is directly contributing to improved GCSE outcomes. Faced with rising literacy needs and limited intervention capacity, the school introduced Lexia to deliver tailored, high-impact support for a growing number of students—particularly those with SEND or in receipt of Pupil Premium. Since implementation, Lexia has enabled staff to triple the number of students receiving individualised literacy intervention while tracking progress with precision. Pupils’ confidence has flourished, and sustained Lexia use is helping bridge critical gaps in phonics, grammar, and comprehension—skills essential for accessing the wider curriculum and succeeding in English at GCSE. The school’s whole-staff approach, including collaboration with the English department, has embedded Lexia into daily routines, resulting in higher motivation, measurable progress, and students walking into lessons ready to engage.
The Compton School
Promoting secondary curriculum readiness
At The Compton School in London, Lexia has become a powerful tool in improving literacy outcomes, particularly in supporting students to achieve stronger results at GCSE. Introduced as part of a whole-school reading strategy, Lexia was implemented to target the bottom 20% of readers in Key Stage 3. Assistant Headteacher Emily Walker-Nolan and Lexia Lead Deeya Sharma have embedded the programme into the school’s culture through structured routines, including breakfast clubs, transition initiatives, and personal development time, ensuring pupils achieve the recommended usage each week. The adaptive nature of Lexia has enabled students to close individual reading gaps efficiently, with clear links between engagement and accelerated reading progress—one pupil even gaining nearly four years in reading age. The school has seen a 20% uplift in the number of students reaching the expected reading benchmark, a testament to Lexia’s role in supporting GCSE readiness. With robust use of data through myLexia, personalised interventions, and creative reward systems, The Compton School continues to position its most vulnerable readers for long-term success.
Upton-by-Chester High School
The measurable impact of Lexia on reading ages
At Upton-by-Chester High School, Lexia has been key to the school’s literacy intervention strategy, helping students make measurable, meaningful progress in reading. With a clear focus on supporting learners who fall just below age-related expectations, Lexia was chosen for its student-led, highly targeted approach, allowing pupils to work independently on their specific areas of need. The school’s structured model, backed by regular assessment and robust pastoral support, ensures consistent engagement and visible outcomes. Pupils in Years 7 and 8 benefit from two hours of dedicated Lexia time each week, supported by a thoughtfully developed rewards system that has transformed intervention into a space for celebration and growth. As a result, students have seen reading age increases of up to two years within a single academic year—an achievement the school attributes to sustained engagement and Lexia’s accessible, confidence-building format.
