At Holy Trinity we are aspirational for all children and aim for each child to live life to the full. We consider reading to be one of the primary vehicles for acquiring knowledge. We believe every child should be able to read to a high standard and read for pleasure as well as to gain information. We want to create a life-long love of reading and books and develop independent, curious and critical readers. We believe that every child should be given the tools to develop into an enthusiastic, fluent and confident reader both at home and at school. Reading improves language and vocabulary, inspires imagination and gives everyone the opportunity to develop and foster new interests.
