Southampton Reading Charter:

Dear parents and carers,

We are excited to share with you that our school has signed up to take part in the
Southampton Reading Charter. This is a pledge to enable all children within our school to
have access to a high-quality reading education. We place a great importance on reading
and across this year we will be looking to achieve our Bronze Award, in line with other schools in the city.

The staff at our school are committed to building a reading for pleasure culture and ensuring that all children can read fluently and confidently, enabling them to access their future education and take enjoyment from reading.

Please find below more information about the requirements for achieving the award. We are confident that we already fulfil the requirements for Bronze status and will continue to embed our strong practice and build foundations towards the Silver and Gold Awards, when they are released in 2025-26. 

At the end of the year our progress against the charter will be reviewed by reading leads
from other schools in Southampton. We look forward to sharing more with you soon about
our progress towards achieving The Southampton Reading Charter Bronze Award. If you have any thoughts or ideas around supporting reading in our school, please do let us know!
