Unlocking Letters and Sounds (Info Hub)

Meet our affordable DfE-validated SSP programme, which makes it simple for teachers to deliver high-quality phonics teaching, assessment and intervention.

Created by teachers

Developed in partnership with a school-based team in Portishead, ULS has been written by practising teachers who understand the realities of a busy classroom. It was designed to be impactful and achievable.

Reducing workload

The programme provides everything you need, from pick-up-and-teach phonics lessons for the start of Phase 2 until the end of Phase 5 to help with smaller details (e.g. what you should say about phonics on your school website).

Increasing peace of mind

Our resources always reflect best practice – and are compliant with all recent guidance from the DfE/Ofsted. (Check out what Ofsted have actually said about ULS in their reports!)

Stretching budgets further

With flexible buying options, a low ongoing cost and even a complimentary whole-school handwriting programme (Unlocking Handwriting), ULS does not let smaller budgets stand in the way of great teaching.

Expert support

Whether you’re attending the free termly updates provided by the training team at St Peter’s or speaking to Ransom about a tailored quote for what your school need to implement ULS, our friendly teams are happy to help.

Free 30-day trial

Get in touch if you’d like a school-wide login to the core online platform so you can have a good explore. (Don’t worry – no need to remember to cancel anything! The login we provide will simply deactivate after 30 days.)
