New Reading Scheme

I am delighted to be able to tell you that we have bought a new reading scheme for the school. This is a modern scheme with up to date stories, pictures, characters and diversity and it fits better with the phonetic approach we take to teaching reading and spelling. A selection of the new books will be available for parents to browse at the summer fair and for anyone who feels they will miss Biff, Chip and Kipper, there will be a chance to take a bundle of the old books home! The new scheme is a significant investment for the school and it has only been possible to make the purchase due to a very generous £5000 donation from Peacehill Gas Community Fund and a further (and equally generous) donation of £500 from Parent Council.

 

Summer Fair and End of Year Event
