Thought Leadership Roundtables
How do we improve literacy in Kent?
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 Kent from across the education spectrum to help solve this challenge.
Taking place on 28th 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 Kent and beyond.
