Reading is central to our curriculum and our culture. We want every child to become a fluent, thoughtful reader who enjoys books and sees reading as a doorway to new ideas.
We teach reading through:
- Whole‑class reading
- VIPERS
- Daily story time
- Targeted phonics
- Book talk and discussion
- Exposure to high‑quality texts
We also nurture a love of reading through assemblies, clubs, themed days, and celebrations. As stated in our curriculum policy, “A love of reading is generated by a whole school approach and promotion of reading through book celebrations.”
