Our Intent
At St Stephen’s, we recognise that reading plays an important part of life and education. We therefore aim to enthuse children as readers by providing a rich and diverse reading curriculum. By doing so, it is our intent to create and foster confident, competent, independent readers who can fully access an equally diverse and varied curriculum.
