The Unlocking Reading programme is a new continuous professional development (CPD) programme from FFT in partnership with the DfE. This free opportunity is designed to help state-funded secondary schools in England build their knowledge and strengthen their confidence and skills in supporting struggling readers as well as embedding a whole-school approach to improving reading and attainment.
The programme launches in January 2026 with the opportunity for two staff members from each state funded secondary school to attend and network at a local in-person training session. This will be followed by access to a range of supporting online training modules tailored for school leaders, teachers and teaching assistants which all staff can access.
If you would like to be part of this free CPD and you are a state-funded secondary school in England, register your interest.
