Securing rapid improvement in pupils’ reading
There has been a notable and rapid improvement in reading standards across the school. Leaders’ sustained focus on developing a strong reading culture, supported by consistent well-structured teaching approaches, has significantly strengthened pupils’ engagement with reading. This is reflected in the way pupils talk about books, choose to read independently and participate enthusiastically in reading activities. As a result, pupils demonstrate greater fluency, stronger comprehension and a markedly increased enjoyment of reading.
