At St Andrew's, we strive to deepen the children's understanding of the written word by reading regularly; through the development of reading comprehension skills and by incorporating texts and opportunities to read widely across our whole curriculum. Children and teachers immerse themselves in captivating stories, engaging non-fiction texts and powerful poetry to motivate and inspire children to write for different purposes and audiences.

We value the development of technical vocabulary and strive to ensure our children understand terminology so they can articulate their thoughts with competence and confidence in different contexts so prepared for the world ahead of them.
