Bishop Vaughan High School
The importance of a reading culture
The school recognises clearly the importance of reading to boost pupils’ attainment, support improvements to their well-being and to help them develop as well-rounded, ethical and informed individuals. Consequently, the development of a reading culture that celebrates the joys of reading has been prioritised by the school and underpinned by well-resourced provision including writers in residence, book groups, reading recommendations and the annual Festival of Culture. This initiative benefits and is appreciated by many members of the school community.
