| Summary: | Leighton Primary school has put reading at the heart of its literacy agenda and sees support staff as key to the development of enthusiastic readers. Learning Mentor Rachel Dyer has introduced a reading champions scheme to help raise the achievement of boys at KS2. She also welcomes reading ambassadors such as Inspector Mike Sutton from British Transport Police. Headteacher Glyn Turner and the school governors recognise the benefits of investing in support staff and actively encourage their continued professional development. Their training and performance is managed by Vicky Robertson, the school's SENCO. She explains the crucial role that the school's KS2 Teaching Assistant plays in assessing the children's reading and deciding what help they need. She discusses the strategies they use and encourages networking and collaboration with neighbouring schools. The TAs themselves talk about their various roles and how they help make Personalised Learning a reality. |
