CURRICULUM SIGNPOSTS & LINKS FOR PARENTS & CARERS
Parents can find out more information about the curriculum by visiting your child's class webpage (click on 'Classes' on the home page) or by speaking to your child's class teacher.
Reading Spine
We want our school to be a place where children are read to, enjoy, discuss and work with high quality books. These ‘essential reads’ would be a store of classics, creating a living library inside a child’s mind. This is the ‘Reading Spine’. We have provided the Pie Corbett reading spine in our classrooms so that children have access to these high quality texts. Click on the links below to find out what books are in your child's reading spine.
eBooks
At Ashbury Meadow Primary school, we have access to a range of ebooks from our school library. Your child has been given their own log in information for this and can access the ebooks by logging in on the link below.
