Reading is valued immensely at Alleyn’s Junior School.
Every day, children are read to after lunch by their form tutor. We are fortunate to have a very spacious and well-stocked library that all children access for a lesson each week and can drop into at breaktimes. Our librarian gets to know each child and their reading journey and can offer expert and tailored suggestions.
We have weekly ‘Drop Everything And Read’ sessions in class where children enjoy sharing books together. As they move through the school, children are challenged to complete extended reading lists, moving outside of their comfort zone to try a variety of genres and styles.
Children are encouraged to use reading to engage with the world around them through access to magazines and newspapers in classrooms and the library, with children selecting and sharing news items of interest with the class.

The next Alleyn's Junior School Open Event is from 1.30pm to 3pm on Wednesday 22 May 2024. There will be a Head's Talk at 1.40pm after which you will be offered a tour of the school with a pupil. There is no need to book a place at this Open Event - everyone is welcome.
