Section outline

  • Reading Comprehension has been a key part of our work at Key Stage 3 and 4, as it has been identified as a significant area of need across our schools.  The focus of the secondary English Curriculum is on analysis and critical evaluation, but without effective comprehension, the higher order skills will not take place.  We have focused on bringing primary curriculum, pedagogy and assessment approaches up from KS2 and into KS3 and KS4 to ensure pupils continue to develop the skills of comprehension as they read increasingly challenging texts.  Please see Moodle+ resources for further guidance.
