At Conway Education Centre, we are always looking for new ways to support the young people in our community. The Bright Sparks Phonics Project is one of the programmes we are most proud of, and the results speak for themselves.

What is the Bright Sparks Phonics Project?
Conway’s Homework Club provides homework support for primary and secondary school students from refugee and asylum-seeker backgrounds here in Belfast. The Bright Sparks Phonics Project runs as part of the Homework Club, offering a structured literacy programme designed to build reading confidence, expand vocabulary, improve spelling, and develop pronunciation and writing skills. Rather than jumping straight in at the deep end, it works by building competencies step by step, with stories and reading always at the core.
