Jolly Phonics Training for UK Schools

More and more schools are re-evaluating their phonics programmes - and for good reason. Rising costs, inflexible subscriptions, and confusing pricing structures are making it harder to access high-quality training. At Jolly Learning, we're choosing a different path. Our model is clear, cost-effective, and built for how schools work in 2025.

We offer training online, in person, or as a hybrid - so you can choose the format that fits your staff, your schedule, and your budget.

Expert Training. Transparent Pricing. Designed for Whole-School Impact.

If you're switching to Jolly Phonics or want to refresh and upskill your staff, our training options are practical, competitively priced, and easy to book. All sessions are led by certified Jolly Phonics trainers and tailored to meet your school's needs.
