The Fluency Focus Programme Trial

We are proud of our commitment to evidence-based education. We are delighted to announce that we have been selected to take part in the prestigious Fluency Focus Programme Trial for the 2026–2027 academic year.

Designed by the London South Research School (LSRS) and funded by the Education Endowment Foundation (EEF), this exciting project focusses on boosting reading fluency and comprehension in Year 5. Whether our school delivers the active programme or supports the study as a control school, our participation places us at the forefront of national educational research, helping to shape the future of literacy instruction across the UK.
