Our Vision

”Hope: building for a brighter future”

At The Belfry, we believe that teaching children to read confidently is one of the cornerstones of primary education. Our aim is to develop and instil a love of reading for our children throughout school whilst teaching children the important skills of phonics: de-coding, fluency and comprehension. As a school, we prioritise phonics and early reading skills because when children learn to read at an early age, they have greater general knowledge, a wider vocabulary, can access all curriculum subjects and progress from learning to read, to reading to learn, giving them access to the treasure trove of reading.
