LITERACY SUPPORT
Upon entry to Year 7, pupils with the lowest literacy skills receive an additional two hours per week of tuition based upon the Miskin Fresh Start scheme, recognised by the EEF as helping Year 7 to make progress in reading. This enables them to enjoy French in Year 8 with more enthusiasm, confidence and success. In addition, all pupils in Year 7 and 8 access the Accelerated Reader programme three times per week, which is designed to encourage a love of reading and move children towards age appropriate reading as quickly as possible, testing for comprehension along the way.
