The English department is now working with Lexonik, an internationally recognised literacy programme designed to deliver a fast, focused and fun teaching programme that dramatically and rapidly improves literacy, vocabulary, and comprehension.

Delivered every Tuesday and Wednesday by Miss Simpson, Miss Bamber and Mrs Kay, the programme is taught in small groups allowing students to succeed at a higher level than they are currently achieving, and although the face to face sessions are intensive, they are highly effective.

Mrs Gregory said, “Literacy is a key area of our focus at Aspire and Lexonik has already proven to have great benefits for the students.”
