About the role
School pupils continue to experience challenges and learning loss as a result of the pandemic. By Autumn 2021, pupils from disadvantaged backgrounds were 3.5 months behind expected levels in reading. By acting as a supportive role model, students will work with pupils in year 7 to support literacy and develop their reading and writing skills.
The programme is a 10-week placement based in school between January and April where students work up to 7 hours per week. It's preferable that students undertake the hours over one day or two half days per week. This is a paid opportunity and applications are welcomed from both Nottingham Trent University and University of Nottingham students.
