About Consilium Academies

Consilium Academies are a multi- academy trust comprising seven secondary schools and one specialist provision, located in the North West and North East of England, and Yorkshire. Their commitment as a trust is to serve socially deprived communities by providing safe, supportive, and positive educational environments.

What made literacy one of your top priorities and when?

"Literacy became a top priority when we realised that reading fluency is fundamental to academic success across all subjects. Our main priority is that all our students are fluent readers. This goal acknowledges that each student has a unique starting point, and we aim to support all students while simultaneously extending learners who are already fluent. This priority was solidified in our strategic plan as we noticed the varying levels of literacy skills among our students and the direct impact these skills had on their behaviour, attendance and overall academic performance."

Why did you decide to use ReadingWise as part of your plan?

"Our decision to use ReadingWise was influenced by the robust research behind it; in particular the Department for Education funded research.The results were particularly compelling for students with special educational needs and disabilities and those eligible for pupil premium, which closely align with the demographics of Consilium. Furthermore, my own experience seeing the positive impact of ReadingWise in-school led to my choice to drive this forward across Consilium Academies."
