Case Studies
Real examples of how we’ve helped schools and pupils achieve better outcomes through targeted SEND support and innovative literacy interventions. These success stories demonstrate our commitment to creating sustainable, inclusive solutions that work.
Developing Local Provision Project - Northwest Birmingham
The Developing Local Provision Project represents a collaborative approach to supporting struggling readers across 15 secondary schools in Northwest Birmingham. Through this three-year DfE-funded initiative, we established two cognition and learning literacy hubs where pupils receive intensive six-week interventions tailored to their specific learning needs.
Key outcomes achieved:
- 300+ pupils supported over three years with 100% showing progress in at least one measured area
- Comprehensive assessment approach using diagnostic tools to identify specific reading difficulties
- Weekly family engagement calls ensuring home-school partnership throughout the intervention
- Sustainable model created with flagship schools continuing best practice beyond project funding
- Multi-faceted support addressing phonics, comprehension, transcription, and independent writing skills
The project’s success lies in its personalised approach – from pupils who need quality first teaching strategies to those requiring specialist support pathways. Each child receives detailed exit reports with tailored recommendations for their home school, ensuring continuity of support.
Nisham High School - Transforming Secondary Literacy Support
Nisham High School’s journey demonstrates how secondary schools can effectively support pupils with complex literacy needs through innovative interventions and assistive technology. Working as part of the Developing Local Provision Project, the school developed a robust system combining Literacy Junction programming with scanning pen technology.
Transformational results:
- Successful integration of multisensory literacy approaches moving beyond traditional phonics-only methods
- Improved pupil independence in classroom settings through assistive technology training
- Enhanced fluency and comprehension skills through reciprocal reading strategies
- Reduced over-reliance on adult support, promoting learner autonomy and self-advocacy
- Sustainable intervention model that addresses the full spectrum of literacy skills
The school’s approach recognises that secondary pupils need more than basic phonics support – they require comprehensive literacy skills including comprehension, writing composition, and classroom independence. By combining targeted interventions with practical assistive technology, pupils gain both the skills and tools needed for academic success.
