The Reading Deficit – what can we do about it? The good news is that 74% of pupils met the expected standard in reading in 2024. The BAD news is that about a quarter did not. /1

Together, we’ve raised nearly £5000 for Marie Curie, and I’m truly overwhelmed by the generosity and support we’ve received. While no further donations are expected, any additional contributions would be greatly appreciated. A heartfelt thank you to everyone for your incredible support!
