Whiteknights Reading Charter - Bronze, Silver and Gold!

We are delighted to welcome guest speakers Professor Teresa Cremin CBE and Anjali Patel from Centre for Literacy in Primary Education (CLPE), who will share their expertise in developing rich, sustainable reading cultures. Informed by the Reading Framework, this programme places reading for pleasure at the heart of school life.

As the Reading Framework states, “Reading widely and often increases pupils’ vocabulary and knowledge of the world.”
