Hello! We made it to half term, hurrah!

Well done us.
In this newsletter, we have a few gentle reminders for you; some LGBT+ History Month resources; and news from the East of England RISE team – read on for those, and don't forget to check out the articles in the news feed below.
BREAKING NEWS!
The EEF's Reading House has been renovated!
"Reading is complicated. Teaching it well? Even more so.
That’s why we’ve given our Reading House a refresh. We’ve kept its rock-solid, evidence-informed foundations – and we’ve added much more emphasis on what this actually looks like in classrooms.
What’s new?
- Real insights from teachers and leaders
- Blogs from the Research Schools Network
- Practical tools and ready-to-use resources
- Short videos showing reading instruction in action
Whether you’re shaping whole-class reading, planning targeted interventions, or leading CPD: the Reading House helps make sense of how all the moving parts of reading fit together."
