Intent

Here at Rockbeare C of E Primary, we believe that all children have the right to be fluent and confident readers as this helps to unlock the doors to future success, for enjoyment and for academic and professional attainment. All members of staff have high aspirations of children and this is demonstrated through the school’s ethos of consistently striving for excellent teaching and outcomes for children in reading. We believe in both the importance of developing children’s discrete word- reading skills and comprehension, and the need to engender a love of books and reading that will last a lifetime.
