Reading Books Update

Since the schools have been closed to the majority of pupils, we have been able to offer daily provision for school reading books to be changed and we know that many of you have appreciated being able to access this.  However, as we begin to prepare for certain year groups to return back to school, we are unfortunately unable to continue to offer this provision.

For the remainder of this week, the small hall will be open from 11:45-12:15 for you to change your child’s reading book, but from 25th May onwards, this provision will no longer be something we can offer.

Instead, we would like to direct you to use certain online websites in order to continue to support your child to develop their reading ability.
