About the event

Following the success of our recent London event, Capita’s 2nd Moving English Forward Conference is being held in Manchester to provide delegates with the latest updates on this agenda.
Ofsted’s recent report, Moving English Forward, has found that standards in English are not yet high enough. From September 2012, school inspections will be re-focused on reading and literacy levels to reflect this.
Hear from Ofsted and the National Association for the Teaching of English and attend streamed sessions specifically tailored to primary and secondary schools that offer best practical advice to ensure you meet national targets for all pupils.
