The National Literacy Trust firmly believes in a place-based approach to tackling literacy issues in communities across the UK where low levels of literacy and social mobility are seriously impacting people's lives. In 2013, it launched its Hub model, delivering place-based interventions in areas of the UK with the highest levels of deprivation and literacy vulnerability. The charity's Hub approach is characterised by a mix of strategic local partnerships, community campaigns and targeted programmatic activity in early years settings and schools. This report looks at the impact of the Hub approach on early years attainment in the National Literacy Trust's three longest running Hubs: Middlesbrough (since 2013), Bradford (since 2015) and Peterborough (since 2017). By looking at improvements in Hub-supported settings and comparing those to national averages, it explores whether early literacy and communication improved in these areas. This report highlights the outcomes of the National Literacy Trust Hub model on early literacy attainment by presenting improvements in Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) data across different Hubs and different years. This evidence suggests that Hubs played an important role in supporting local authorities to improve early years provision.
