At St Anne’s, we aim to inspire every child to develop a love of reading through immersing them in high-quality, engaging texts. All year groups share a wide range of stories with their children, from traditional tales and nursery rhymes to intriguing picture books and gripping novels.
We celebrate children’s achievements in reading with regular awards in class, assemblies and the community. At St Anne’s, all children have access to well-stocked, ever-changing libraries and reading areas and we regularly invite authors and poets into school, or visit them in the community, to work with and inspire our children.
