Join us for the Year 7 Information Evening, where we will provide a comprehensive overview of the year, including assessment examples, breakdowns, and our whole school focus on cross-curricular literacy. Discover key skills and expectations such as recognizing audience, form, and purpose in reading, as well as the importance of spelling, punctuation, and grammar across subjects. We will also outline support strategies to encourage daily reading, foster an appreciation for the spoken and written word, and share specialized reading intervention schemes.
