St Peter’s School recognises that securing rapid progress in students’ reading age is important. This allows students to access written resources and to complete written tasks using the correct detailed subject specific content. This is a significant requirement of our students the majority of whom enter St Peter’s School with reading ages far below their chronological age. But through the support we offer, our students make rapid improvements.
