Thank you to the NST who have provided every child with a book this Christmas. Owning a book has significant impact on children’s reading. According to a report by the National Literacy Trust, children who own a book of their own at home are six times more likely to read above the expected level for their age.
What a wonderful term we have had at Northmead. As usual, the children have made me immensely proud. There have been lots of opportunities for the children’s talents to be highlighted. They have given magnificent performances in our production and achieved well in music and sporting events, but it is the children’s day to day positive attitudes, enthusiasm and engagement in learning which also deserves recognition.
