Every classroom includes pupils who struggle to access learning because of barriers with reading, writing, language and communication. As schools strengthen their inclusive practice, literacy has become one of the most powerful tools for removing these barriers and ensuring every pupil can access an ambitious curriculum. At the heart of this masterclass is Alex Quigley’s innovative SHARE Implementation Framework, providing schools with a practical, evidence-informed approach to implementing high-quality literacy across the curriculum.
