THE HAYES PRIMARY SCHOOL

Our aim is to teach children to read fluently and accurately so that they have a full understanding of text, resulting in enjoyment of what they have read. We share this aim with parents, and to this end, use a variety of strategies. Our children's reading experiences continue and develop throughout The Hayes, with them learning to read for a purpose - why are they reading? This of course reflects directly upon their writing skills, when the two are allied and the connections are made known to the children! Children are, therefore, encouraged to make choices about their reading matter, according to why they are reading. When reading for information, higher reading skills are taught so that they can skim/scan text for what they need... The Hayes Primary school promotes, values and inspires reading in its pupils. We value reading as a key life skill and recognise the importance of reading for future success and well-being. Our aim is for all children to enjoy and become life-long..
