Reading Leaders

This week, sixteen Year 9 pupils successfully completed their training to become Reading Leaders. 

Our Reading Leaders training programme is designed to train young people from Year 9 to help pupils at least two years younger than themselves become confident and competent readers.  At the same time, reading leaders develop skills and qualities which enhance their CVs in readiness for future job applications or entry into further and higher education. 

All Reading Leaders will receive a letter of reference on completion of the programme, which can be used as part of the Duke of Edinburgh voluntary placement.

In the coming weeks, our Reading Leaders will put their new literacy and mentoring skills to use, assisting Year 7 pupils with their reading.
