At Birches Green, we are passionate about fostering a love of reading and writing among our students. We believe that these foundational skills are essential not only for academic success but also for lifelong learning. We celebrate their achievements and strive to instil a passion for storytelling that lasts a lifetime.

From Early Years, we promote independence in reading and writing, allowing children to explore texts and develop their own voices. Our approach begins with early reading and phonics, ensuring that students build a solid understanding of language while developing a range of comprehension skills.

We focus on enhancing their writing abilities by nurturing basic skills for sentence construction and encouraging creativity across various genres. We emphasise the importance of stamina and strength in writing, guiding students to articulate their thoughts in depth and detail.

Reading and writing is an essential skill across all areas of the curriculum.  By the time they leave Birches Green, we aim for all students to be confident and articulate readers and writers, fully equipped to succeed in the world around them.
