Ofsted report
“The new English leader has galvanised everyone to improve standards in reading. Pupils are encouraged to read more, through more regular guided reading sessions, and at home with their parents. The initiative, which encourages pupils to read every day and talk every day, is proving to be a great success."
"Pupils love reading and they appreciate the rewards they receive for being the most voracious reader.”
