Thought Leadership Roundtables

How do we improve literacy in London?

With almost 40% of learners in England failing their English GCSE, we need to act to improve literacy at schools. We are bringing together voices in London from across the education spectrum to help solve this challenge.

Taking place on 14th November 2024, this roundtable discussion is your chance to network with likeminded educators, share your opinions and contribute to a vital best practice whitepaper for schools in London and beyond.

What will be discussed

We are focusing on: Solutions to the growing crisis: how do we improve literacy in London?

Our discussion will be wide-reaching. We will be covering oracy, reading for pleasure (and where it falls short), what a coherent literacy strategy looks like and how we can prepare learners to be critical readers in a world of increasing disinformation and complexity.
