Thank you to everyone who attended our workshop on the new SparxReader programme for students in Year 7, 8 and 9.

We think this is an exciting programme that will help us to improve literacy at Sheldon and can make reading even more fun. Sparx Reader is an engaging and supportive platform in which pupils can develop their reading and literacy skill. The platform has options to change text and background colours , enlarge the text and check the meaning of unfamiliar vocabulary.

If you were unable to attend the meeting, you can download the presentation from Mr Symes, Deputy Headteacher. If you have any further questions about SparxReader, please let us know. We will launch the programme with our KS3 students in early 2025. Happy Reading!

Sheldon gave me confidence in my abilities and supported my ambitions. Going to a state school has many benefits over private in terms of real-world experience and being friends with a varied group of students. This has helped me in my life since school.
