At Cubert School, we believe reading is foundational to every child's learning, confidence, and personal growth. Aligned directly with the National Curriculum for English, our reading provision ensures all pupils read fluently, develop a deep appreciation for literature, and gain the essential literacy skills required for lifelong success.

Love of Reading & Creative Expression

Directly aligning with the National Curriculum aim for pupils to develop the habit of reading widely and often for both pleasure and information, we encourage children to develop a genuine love of reading, writing, and creative expression through rich, engaging materials and inspiring subject matter.

Cross-Curricular Skill Practice

In line with National Curriculum expectations for pupils to read fluently and acquire knowledge across all subjects, we provide continuous opportunities for children to apply, practise, and master their reading comprehension skills right across the wider curriculum.

Language-Rich Environment

Fulfilling the statutory objective for pupils to acquire a wide vocabulary, understand grammar, and master linguistic conventions, Cubert School provides a language-rich environment across the school that immerses pupils in high-quality text, structured discussion, and expressive spoken language.

Reaching Full Potential

Supporting the National Curriculum target for all pupils to read easily, fluently, and with strong comprehension, our targeted reading provision ensures every child overcomes learning barriers and is enabled to reach their full academic potential.

Literacy for Life & Society

Reflecting the overarching National Curriculum aim to equip pupils with a strong command of spoken and written language, we empower children to live and work confidently and effectively in a literate society—preparing them thoroughly for secondary education and the wider world.
