Library badges

Mr Govan was, today, able to present lapel pins to our first cohort of reading mentors.

We are so proud of these students who volunteer their time as reading mentors to support our more hesitant and less able readers.

Every half term, mentors are taught two GCSE level short stories, which they in turn read with, and teach to, their reading mentee.

This has already been hugely productive and allowed some of our students to achieve in the practice of reading, when they had become used to struggling compared to their peers.

I will be looking to recruit and train some more reading mentors in September and challenging some of our most able readers to extend their learning by sharing their skillset and enthusiasm for reading with the school community.

Congratulations to you all.

Miss Hanson
