Reading

Reading is at the heart of the curriculum at Belle Vue Girls' Academy. 

We aim to foster a love of reading, inspire a passion for words and equip students with the skills to access texts across their academic experience.

We aim to give our students a truly exceptional reading experience. Strong reading skills are integral for students to be able to navigate the world and become confident learners, communicators and future citizens. Reading makes our students confident, empathetic, and knowledgeable.

Our culture of reading within school gives students access to: high-level texts in a nurturing library environment, book challenges to build confidence and drive and diverse enrichment activities that support students’ academic wellbeing with the understanding that reading underpins their school experience.

What you can do to help
