Our Reading Vision

At Heage Primary School, we believe that reading is the key to unlocking a world of imagination, knowledge, and lifelong learning. Our vision is to foster a love of reading in every child, where books are a gateway to curiosity, creativity, and understanding.

We nurture a reading culture rooted in honesty, where children develop the integrity to explore diverse perspectives with open minds. Through respect for authors, stories, and each other’s ideas, we create a community that values every voice.

Our reading journey is guided by kindness and compassion, as we share stories that help us connect with others, understand different experiences, and grow in empathy. We celebrate teamwork by learning together—discussing, exploring, and supporting each other through shared reading experiences.

With resilience, we empower our learners to tackle new words, challenging texts, and unfamiliar ideas with confidence and determination. We believe every child can become a confident, thoughtful reader who carries the joy and power of reading throughout their life.
