We're really proud of our pupils' reading progress and some of the success is down to working with Reading Plus to help those needing extra support in Year 7. We're delighted to be featured as a case study. Have a look here: https://t.co/rQaxbEKH5k @readingplus.

Hear from @staff_lily1 about the amazing progress our children are making in their reading. So many came to us saying they never read. Each now are reading 3 books independently & talk about them constantly. A really special culture of reading for pleasure https://t.co/dCDSErbULK

Good luck to all the schools, staff and students sitting the SAT's this week!
