At HGSS, we pride ourselves on being a reading school. We believe that reading is fundamental to both academic success and emotional wellbeing. Our approach prioritises the development of strong reading skills (reading for purpose) alongside a deep enjoyment of literature, ensuring that students become confident, capable readers for life (reading for pleasure). We foster a love for reading by creating a culture where books are valued, discussed, and enjoyed. By balancing skill development with the joy of discovery, we empower our students to thrive both academically and personally.
