Consultancy

Children’s literature is at the heart of our consultancy. We help schools make their English provision more book-based or introduce and embed Literacy Tree.

We work with schools, academy trusts, English Hubs, Learning Trusts and Local Authorities, adapting support to suit each context.

How we Work

We offer consultancy that fits around you:

• In person – school visits, training days and workshops
• Online – live remote sessions and ongoing digital support
• Both formats provide space for live contribution and collaboration.

"Thank you so much for your training today. It really was inspirational, and the room continued to buzz this afternoon."

Lauren Makin, Assistant Headteacher, Hopwood Community Primary School, Rochdale
 
"It's always a treat when the dream team at Literacy Tree join us for a twilight session. It was amazing to see so many people working collaboratively and enjoying what Literacy Tree can bring to each of their schools. The training was exactly what we wanted and staff went away feeling inspired and excited. Big, big thanks from all our teachers and leaders from the Wade Deacon Trust."

Juliet Brown, Director of Primary Education, Wade Deacon Trust, Widnes
