Notice Description

The Department for Education is inviting proposals from up to two organisations to work with the Department to design and deliver at least 24 local stakeholder engagement events by 31 July 2017 to promote effective teaching of systematic synthetic phonics as the primary approach to learning to read in primary schools. The government is committed to ensuring high quality teaching of phonics in primary schools and promoting the use of systematic synthetic phonics in the teaching of early reading is a key ministerial priority. The Department is making two phonics roadshow contracts (A and B) available in 2017, with an anticipated start date of March 2017 until 31 July 2017. Bidders can bid for either of the contracts or both.
