Congratulations to all those children who acted as wonderful ambassadors for our school, when they were featured on channel 4 last night during a feature about Dexter.

Reading Quality Mark

Tue 09 Feb 2016

Gold, Gold, Gold!

Liverpool Reading Quality Mark in associate with the National Literacy Trust

Liverpool Reading Quality Mark (RQM) has been developed with a focus to promote reading for enjoyment amongst children.

A recent study conducted by the Institute for Education found that children who read for pleasure are likely to do significantly better than their peers.

Schools can be accredited with a bronze, silver or gold award which recognises the effort that they have made in promoting the joy of reading amongst their pupils. In order to attain these awards schools are assessed across six themes.

Key themes:

Leadership and management
Workforce development
Reading promotion
Reading events and groups
School wide opportunities for reading for enjoyment
Family/community involvement/public library service

We were assessed by a member of the local authority, who spent the day looking around our school, speaking to Mrs Basnett, staff, governors, members of our wider community and of course our pupils.

We were delighted to be awarded the highest grade possible – gold!

Well done to everyone involved.

Books about Town

Wed 03 Feb 2016

Children from Y2-Y6 had a wonderful time this week as they promoted reading in the community at Stretton Way. They explored a range of vehicles whilst reading a range of books to show that you can enjoy a good book any time and anywhere. We are grateful to the staff at Stretton Way for supporting our initiative and to the lads at the depot who were great sports and joined us for our reading session. Check out our photos!

It was lovely to welcome the children back to school after the summer holiday. They all look extremely smart in their new school uniforms and black shoes, thank you very much for your support.Our new children in Reception have quickly adapted to life in 'big school.' It was lovely seeing so many parents joint us for their first lunch.
