Reading is at the heart of everything we do. We ask that children read at least five times a week, and this is monitored through their Home Liaison Books, which should be signed by an adult. As a reward, children who meet this goal will enjoy extra playtime on Friday afternoons.
Reading together is a lovely way to bond and support your child’s learning. Whether it’s reading for pleasure, sharing stories, or helping with school reading books, your involvement makes a huge difference. Fluent reading and good comprehension skills are essential across all subjects, and we work hard to nurture a love of reading in every child.
Thank you for your continued support—you are truly amazing parents, and we’re so grateful to work in partnership with you. We’re looking forward to a fantastic term ahead!
