Our reading pledge

Early reading is a key priority of our school improvement strategy. From the early years up, we foster a love of reading which permeates every classroom in the school. Staff share a love of stories with our children, transporting them to different worlds, igniting their imaginations, exposing them to the rich knowledge of non-fiction books. Stephen King once said, “Books are a uniquely portable magic” and we couldn’t agree more!

From the moment children step through our doors, we teach them to be confident, fluent readers through a rigorous phonics programme that ensures by the time a child leaves our academy, they are high school ready and ready to take on the world!

We want children in our school to have a love for reading so intense they simply HAVE to pick up a book! We stand by the rights of a reader here at Peel Hall, shared in our Reading Charter. It is our promise to all of our pupils to enable them to become life-long learners.

We hope this section of our website shares with you a snippet of what we do to fulfil our reading promise and shares just how much we LOVE reading here at Peel Hall Primary Academy!
