Expression of Interest for reading experts for the English Hubs Council

The Department for Education is seeking to procure professional services from three experts in reading with a focus on systematic synthetic phonics, to become members of the English Hubs Council. Members may also have wider specialisms, including in early language and developing a love of reading, to develop a balanced Council membership. The Council will provide advice to the Department for Education (DfE) on developing the scope and strategic direction of the English Hubs programme and the work of the English Hubs Training Centre to ensure change and improvement in the teaching of early language and literacy. The Council will also provide expertise in support of implementation activity as agreed with the DfE, for example in reviewing Annual Hub Development Plans.
