At Carr Hill Primary, we believe that all pupils should have the opportunity to be fluent, confident readers who are able to successfully comprehend and understand a wide range of texts. We want pupils to develop a love of reading, a good knowledge of a range of authors, and be able to understand more about the world in which they live through the knowledge they gain from texts.

We aim to inspire an appreciation of our rich and varied literary heritage and a habit of reading widely and often. By the end of their time at primary school, all children should be able to read fluently, and with confidence, in any subject in their forthcoming secondary education.

We do not put ceilings on what pupils can achieve in reading and we do not hold preconceptions about any pupils’ ability to make progress.
