Support for secondary english
Supporting every learning journey
English teachers across the UK have told us they’re navigating the impact of Covid-19 on education by focusing on building students’ knowledge, skills and confidence in readiness for their next steps.
As each learning journey is different, we offer a wide range of English resources and support you can use at every stage. From differentiated whole-class programmes to targeted practice, intervention, tutoring and revision, there’s plenty to help your students make progress at their pace and in the ways that work best for them.
