Literacy Leadership
Leadership and Mentoring opportunities in Literacy provide great ways for students to build their confidence and skills, from listening to Reading Buddies read aloud, to delivering Literacy lessons themselves, presenting in assemblies and judging competitions. There’s a chance to get involved whatever Year Group you’re in:
Year 7 – Reading Mentors
Year 8 – Reading Champions
Year 9 – Reading Mentors
Year 10 – Literacy Leaders
Year 11 – English Prefects

Every week a team of Year 10 students delivers literacy activities to a Key Stage 3 Tutor Group during morning registration. Peer-to-peer teaching has been proven to be highly effective and our Literacy Leaders teach spelling, punctuation and grammar in a lively, interactive way that motivates younger students. The team also provide role models for the lower years in the school; many of our Literacy Leaders go on to become prefects in Year 11. Teaching during morning registration reinforces the message that literacy skills aren’t just for English lessons, they’re for life.
