Reading is a route to rehabilitation. At Oasis Restore, education is at the core of all we do, and improving literacy is an essential step in supporting children to reach their full potential. @OasisRestore #secureschool #revolutioninyouthjustice linkedin.com/feed/update/urn…

Actually the strongest link between school and prison according to the data is not exclusion.
It’s illiteracy.
So synthetic phonics, explicit vocabulary instruction and guided reading might be a better intervention line…

If we are serious about early intervention in schools to stop criminality later on, we really need to focus on literacy and numeracy!
- 71% of prisoners have lower literacy skills than the average 11 year old.
- About 1 in 5 prisoners are at or below the level of a 5-7 year old.

@jonbcollins of @PrisonersEd finds that the 2023/24 official statistics tell the same story of missed opportunities. russellwebster.com/the-same-…

Oasis Restore is first & foremost a home, and a school with security rather than a prison with education for young people sentenced or remanded in custody. With bedrooms not cells & houses not wings, it’s very secure, but therapeutic. Read the latest here: schoolsweek.co.uk/the-school…
