Objective
By the end of the academic year, lower-attaining readers in Years 3 and 4 read age-appropriate texts with greater accuracy, pace and expression, supported by consistent, explicit fluency teaching in every Key Stage 2 class.
Establish a clear fluency baseline
English lead · First half of the autumn term
Train staff in explicit fluency teaching
English lead, with the deputy headteacher · Second half of the autumn term
Build daily fluency practice into reading lessons
Class teachers, monitored by the English lead · From the start of the spring term
A governance question
“How will leaders know whether fluency teaching is being implemented consistently across Key Stage 2, and what will they do where it is not?”
What it helps you do
Clarify what needs to improve
Turn a broad concern into one clear objective, with the evidence behind it and what is still to be confirmed.
Turn priorities into focused actions
Three to five feasible actions, each with a rationale, a responsible role, a milestone and the resources it needs.
Evaluate implementation and impact
Implementation indicators kept apart from outcome measures, a review schedule, and strategic questions for governors.
How it works
- 1
Describe your priority
Answer short questions about your context, the priority, what is happening now and what success would look like. No school names or personal data.

What every plan contains
- An improvement objective, why it matters, the baseline evidence and what is missing
- Three to five actions with rationale, responsible role, milestone, resources, indicators and evidence sources
- Success criteria in three levels: activities, professional practice, and pupil or school outcomes
- A monitoring and evaluation schedule
- Five to seven strategic governance challenge questions
Honest by design
- Never invents statistics, targets, research or inspection judgements. Missing baselines say "Baseline to be confirmed".
- Any figure you did not give is taken out before you see the plan.
- Governance questions focus on strategic accountability, not day-to-day operations.
- Your answers are not stored on our servers, and plans stay in your browser tab.

Supporting your judgement, not replacing it
The Navigator helps you plan. It does not replace school leadership expertise, external review or current statutory guidance, and every plan should be reviewed and adapted before use.
