Reading is at the heart of learning and plays a vital role in every child’s education. It builds vocabulary, strengthens comprehension, and opens up a world of imagination and knowledge. At our school, we believe that developing a love of reading not only supports academic success but also nurtures curiosity, empathy, and lifelong learning. By encouraging daily reading habits and providing access to a rich variety of texts, we aim to inspire confident, thoughtful readers who are ready for the challenges of the wider world.
Bluecoat Bookcase
Throughout our students’ educational journeys at BTA, they will encounter books on ‘The Bluecoat Bookcase’ that will shape their future successes. In collaboration with our pastoral and curriculum leads, ‘The Bluecoat Bookcase’ has judiciously chosen texts that represent and champion our CARE values. Across every child’s school life, each text will academically and personally shape them to become aspirational and critical thinkers and readers.
