Central to learning is creating a life-long love of reading and books and at Grange Valley, it is our belief that every child should be able to read for pleasure and to a high standard. We firmly believe that reading feeds children’s imagination and opens up a treasure house of wonder and joy for curious young minds. We also believe that every child should be given the tools to develop into an enthusiastic and confident reader both at home and at school. Reading improves language and vocabulary, inspires imagination and gives everyone the opportunity to develop and foster new interests.
We provide a rich, broad and balanced curriculum, which takes account of National Curriculum requirements and recognises the individual developmental needs of our children. Furthermore, the individual experiences and cultures that the children bring to school are celebrated and key in engaging and inspiring them to become curious learners. The environments that we provide are ‘language rich’, ensuring that a plethora of vocabulary is taught across all subjects. Reading is at the core of the English Curriculum, we immerse pupils in the wonders of quality texts to create a love for reading
