Understand what's driving literacy outcomes in your school

Bedrock's Literacy Health Check helps you evaluate your whole-school approach to literacy - and understand what may be driving outcomes - so you can respond with greater precision.

When literacy outcomes aren't where you want them to be, what do you do next?

School assessment data can highlight that students are struggling - but it doesn't always explain why.

Without a more forensic understanding of what's driving difficulty, schools can end up applying the same approach to very different needs - focusing on comprehension when the issue is fluency, or introducing interventions that don't address the real barrier.

See the full picture of literacy across your school

The Literacy Health Check combines structured evaluation with a 45-minute expert review to help you understand your wider literacy provision and what may be driving outcomes - so you can take more targeted action.

What you get from the Literacy Health Check

  • Whole-school literacy evaluation

    A structured review across leadership, curriculum and teaching.

  • Interpreting literacy outcomes

    Understand what may be driving outcomes, including likely barriers.

  • 45-minute expert review session

    A dedicated session with a literacy expert to interpret your results, explore likely barriers, and identify the most effective next steps.

  • Targeted action plan

    Clear, evidence-informed next steps for improvement.

Built around five core areas of literacy provision

Rather than focusing on a single metric, the Literacy Health Check evaluates your entire literacy system.

  1. People and training - do staff have the knowledge and confidence to support literacy effectively across subjects?
  2. Culture and strategy - is literacy embedded as a whole-school priority, with clear leadership and direction?
  3. Assessment and tracking - how are reading, writing and vocabulary assessed - and how effectively is progress monitored?
  4. Evidence and teaching frameworks - to what extent is literacy instruction grounded in evidence and consistently applied?
  5. Resources and budget - do you have the tools, materials and investment needed to support literacy development at scale?
