At St. Joseph’s College we recognise the importance of reading. In order to fulfil the demands of the secondary school curriculum, pupils need to be able to read age appropriate fiction and non-fiction texts fluently.
We also understand the many mental-health and wellbeing benefits of reading.
As such, we have produced a whole school reading strategy, with the aim that every pupil in our school becomes a confident, knowledgeable reader who can access challenging subject texts, and who reads widely beyond school.
