We love reading!

Our children begin their journey towards reading using the phonics scheme "Read Write Inc". Click the logo above to find out more about how to support your child at home. As our pupils become more fluent and confident in their phonics knowledge, we move on to using the Oxford Reading Tree levelled books, which provide high quality, exciting and engaging texts at just the right level to encourage and challenge. You can find out more by clicking the Reading Tree logo above.

All our children also bring home a free choice of book from the class or school library to share with parents and encourage reading for pleasure. We regularly invite authors into school in person or through online talks. This year we have met the author and illustrator of the new Mr Men and Little Miss series, picture-book and fantasy writer Anna Kemp and graphic novelist John Patrick Green.
