We believe that reading is the key to unlocking learning across the curriculum and fostering a lifelong love of books. Through carefully selected, high-quality texts, children are introduced to a diverse range of authors, genres, cultures and themes throughout their time at school.

Reading books are closely matched to each child's phonic knowledge and reading ability, ensuring every pupil experiences success and develops fluency and confidence.

Reading is prioritised every day through whole-class reading, independent reading and story time, while our well-stocked library promotes reading for pleasure and encourages children to discover books they love.
