Year 6 2023 - 2024
Welcome to Year 6 with Miss Raine and Mrs Richardson
Throughout our school, the expectation for reading is the same. We continue to work towards our reading challenge of reading 5 times per week and encouraging Every child to read Every night. Read more about our whole school reading policy by clicking here. Every child has access to Reading Plus and this can count towards one of their five signatures. See the link below.
