YHS & Accelerated Reader
We are pleased to introduce the use of Accelerated Reader as an addition to our range of products and teaching strategies.
Accelerated Reader is intended to help children at school manage their reading, to provide teachers with assessment of the reading ability of a class, and to encourage reading.
- Assessment of a student's reading level through the STAR test
- Assessing comprehension using a computer-based quiz
Students are encourage to read regularly, and take the book quizzes
Every book read earns them 'Words' and every quiz taken can earn them 'Points'
At the end of each term students will be eligible to receive certificates and prizes based on their achievements,
Accelerated Reader (AR) quizzes are available on over 30,000 books, with over 4000 of those titles available to read within the school library.
So let's get reading and quizzing!

Having seen a replica of the carriage in which the armistice was signed on 11/11/1918, we are en route back to England. This has been a fantastic Battlefields tour for all involved!

Good morning! We have a early morning departure from our hotel in Albert, as we are heading to Compiègne to learn about the last year of WW1 and the Armistice on 11/11/1918. Extremely excited for this stop!
This afternoon, students visited Thiepval, where they laid a cross of remembrance for Corporal Francis Wilson Skilbeck, from Acomb. After dinner, they compared British Army equipment in 1914 to 2019, and had the opportunity to try both sets on! It has been a fantastic 3 days https://t.co/fp9RcME2a5
