Class Novels

At our school, we believe that reading is the key to unlocking a world of imagination, knowledge, and lifelong learning. In Key Stage 2, each class embarks on a novel study every half term, where pupils delve into rich, engaging texts that broaden their horizons. To enhance this experience, we highly encourage families to provide a copy of the novel for their child to read along in class. Pupils who receive benefit-related free school meals will be provided with a copy. Together, we aim to nurture a love of reading that will inspire our children for years to come.
