Reading
At Coppice Performing Arts School, reading is at the heart of all learning. Developing reading skills and fluency allows students access to our broad and balanced curriculum. Throughout their primary school years, students start to become fluent readers and as their reading continues to develop in secondary school, they will be able to use their skills across the curriculum to embed a lifelong love of reading. Students are encouraged to explore texts in-depth, answer questions, give opinions and show a growing understanding of a wider vocabulary.
As always, we appreciate your ongoing support with helping your children – our students, achieve great things.
