We want every child to view reading as akin to breathing- a normal and natural action that all humans do. ​

We do this by exposing students to a wide range of ambitious fiction and non-fiction texts that stimulate intrigue and help them to make sense of the world. We believe that representation matters and have chosen a reading programme that all students can identify with and learn that differences are positive. ​

We give our students the tools to read well by modelling expert reading, using Reciprocal Reading as a strategy to decipher text and providing catch-up and keep-up reading interventions to ensure that every child leaves us as a confident, life-long reader.
