“Once you learn to read, you will be forever free.”
Frederick Douglass
''Pupils of all ages and abilities, including disadvantaged pupils, read effectively. Many read at standards higher than those expected for their age. When they come across unfamiliar words, pupils use their secure knowledge of letter sounds to help them. They persevere when the text is challenging. Leaders work hard to encourage a love of reading. Pupils said that they enjoy reading and some pupils have been inspired to write to their favourite authors.'
(Ofsted 2017)
“The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more you learn, the more places you'll go.”
Dr. Seuss
