At Settlebeck School, we are committed to ensuring that every student develops the literacy skills they need to succeed, both academically and in life beyond school. Our comprehensive reading curriculum is designed to equip students with the ability to read fluently, understand texts deeply, and cultivate a lifelong love of reading. By the time our students leave in Year 11, our goal is for their reading ages to be equal to or higher than their chronological age. This ensures they are prepared for the challenges of further education, employment, and the wider world.
