We are a power of reading school. CLPE (Centre for Literacy in primary Education) runs Power of Reading, a successful training programme, which has supported thousands of schools in raising engagement and attainment in reading and writing for all children. We plan our teaching around the core texts chosen and these are the basis for our Literacy teaching and learning. We then have a whole school literacy book plan linked to these books, which ensures children have access to a variety of texts, both fiction and non-fiction.
