Reading for pleasure

“Reading is a priority for the school. Pupils develop a love for reading through listening to a wide variety of books being read to them. The school has made sure that every class has high-quality texts to read. This helps pupils to learn about different styles of writing and widens their vocabulary.”  Ofsted Report. March 2025.

“All staff have expertise they need to teach early reading effectively. Children in the early years get off to a strong start, as phonics begins as soon as they are in school. Teachers ensure that pupils read books that match the sounds they know and remember.” Ofsted Report. March 2025.
