At John Keble C of E Primary School, Hursley, we believe that learning to read is the key that unlocks all future learning.

Through the Little Wandle Letters and Sounds Revised programme, we provide a systematic, consistent and engaging approach to phonics, ensuring that every child develops the knowledge and confidence to become a fluent reader.

We firmly believe that children learn to read and then read to learn, and therefore place reading at the heart of our curriculum.

Fostering a lifelong love of reading is a priority in our school; we celebrate the joy and specialness of real books, immersing children in high-quality literature and creating opportunities for them to read for pleasure every day.

Through strong partnerships with families and a commitment to nurturing enthusiastic readers, we aim to ensure that every child develops the skills, confidence and enjoyment needed to thrive as a reader throughout their life.
