Accelerator Funding
We are pleased to announce that Orgill English Hub are now able to support schools through the Accelerator Fund through 2023-2024.
We can provide funding through the Accelerator Fund to Mainstream Primary Schools, Infant Schools, Junior Schools, Alternative Provision and Special Schools.
What can we offer?
- an audit of your current early language and phonics provision
- up to 3 days of Literacy support
- up to £6000 funding for validated SSP training and resources.
Choosing a phonics teaching programme - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk)
Assess your eligibility. Do you meet any of these criteria?
- Lower than the national average percentage of pupils meeting the expected standard in the Phonics Screening Check in their most recent results.
- A higher-than-average proportion of children achieving below age-related expectations in reading.
- A higher-than-average proportion of children eligible for the Pupil Premium.
- An Ofsted judgement of Requires Improvement or Inadequate.
- A high proportion of groups considered hard to reach, such as English as an Additional Language, Free School Meals, Traveller Children, etc.
- Schools referred by local partners (e.g. National Leaders of Education, Regional Schools Commissioners, EIA teams/boards).
The English Hubs can also fund schools who:
- Have Ofsted ratings “good” or “outstanding”, but whose English practice indicates a risk of declining standards.
- Have a Pupil Premium percentage equal to or below the national average.
- Have children at Key stage 1 and 2 but who do not complete the Phonics Screening Check.
