--- title: "Reading at Brownedge" url: "https://www.st-maryshigh.lancs.sch.uk/curriculum/reading-at-brownedge" school: "Brownedge St Mary’s Catholic High School" --- # Reading at Brownedge ## **Our Reading Vision** Reading is at the centre of all subjects at Brownedge St Mary’s Catholic High School. We encourage our pupils to ‘let their light shine’ on their **reading voyage** in school. We endeavour to support pupils in developing their reading **fluency**, **comprehension**, and **breadth** **of** **vocabulary**, through our text choices, pedagogy and weekly enrichment. Pupils and staff understand that reading is pivotal for both **academic** purposes and **enjoyment**. 'Register and Read' forms part of our weekly timetable, to offer that shared enrichment for all pupils in their form groups. We want pupils to choose reading as a pastime, and therefore carefully and consciously decide on the range of texts that they experience across school. Our collective aim at Brownedge is that our pupils see and believe that reading has a **purpose**; it is an important life skill that will be used long after their education at Brownedge St Mary’s has finished. Pupils will understand that an ability to read **fluently** and **accurately** will serve them well and **improve** their life chances. As part of this, we aim to model to our pupils that reading is not always from a prose novel, but can be a poem, verse novel, an article, an essay, a letter, a poster, a textbook or a short story. Reading is amazing, and that is the story we wish to tell in the education and pastoral care we provide at our school. ‘Reading is opening the door to a whole new world’. **### Suggested Reading Lists Year 11 2.88 MB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/brownedge-st-mary-s-catholic-high-school/files/documents/YEAR_11_-_Brownedge_Bookshelf.pdf) Year 10 3.40 MB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/brownedge-st-mary-s-catholic-high-school/files/documents/YEAR_10_-_Brownedge_Bookshelf.pdf) Year 9 3.15 MB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/brownedge-st-mary-s-catholic-high-school/files/documents/YEAR_9_-_Brownedge_Bookshelf.pdf) Year 8 3.61 MB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/brownedge-st-mary-s-catholic-high-school/files/documents/YEAR_8_-_Brownedge_Bookshelf.pdf) Year 7 3.50 MB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/brownedge-st-mary-s-catholic-high-school/files/documents/YEAR_7_-_Brownedge_Bookshelf.pdf)** **### Reading Parent Guide Parent Guide 76 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/brownedge-st-mary-s-catholic-high-school/files/documents/Parent_guide_(1).docx)** ### Curriculum - [Curriculum Provision](https://www.st-maryshigh.lancs.sch.uk/curriculum/curriculum-provision) - [Assessment and Reporting](https://www.st-maryshigh.lancs.sch.uk/curriculum/assessment-and-reporting) - [Faculties](https://www.st-maryshigh.lancs.sch.uk/curriculum/faculties) - [Careers Advice](https://www.st-maryshigh.lancs.sch.uk/curriculum/careers) - [Enrichment](https://www.st-maryshigh.lancs.sch.uk/curriculum/enrichment) - [Student Leadership](https://www.st-maryshigh.lancs.sch.uk/our-school/student-leadership-team) - [Reading at Brownedge](https://www.st-maryshigh.lancs.sch.uk/curriculum/reading-at-brownedge) - [Reading Vision](https://www.st-maryshigh.lancs.sch.uk/curriculum/reading-at-brownedge/reading-vision) - [Library](https://www.st-maryshigh.lancs.sch.uk/curriculum/library) - [Reading Events](https://www.st-maryshigh.lancs.sch.uk/curriculum/reading-at-brownedge/reading-events) - [Lexonic Reading Programme](https://www.st-maryshigh.lancs.sch.uk/curriculum/reading-at-brownedge/lexonicsupport) - [Home Learning Information](https://www.st-maryshigh.lancs.sch.uk/curriculum/home-learning-information) - [Pathways](https://www.st-maryshigh.lancs.sch.uk/curriculum/pathways) ![Brownedge St Mary’s Catholic High School](https://files.schudio.com/brownedge-st-mary-s-catholic-high-school/images/logo/Brownedge-favicon_(2).png) ### Brownedge St Mary’s Catholic High School Station Road Bamber Bridge Preston Lancashire PR5 6PB 01772 339813 ### Useful Links - [Ofsted](https://www.st-maryshigh.lancs.sch.uk/our-school/inspection-reports) - [Calendar](https://www.st-maryshigh.lancs.sch.uk/calendar) - [Facilities ](https://www.st-maryshigh.lancs.sch.uk/about-us/facilities) - [Firefly](https://brownedge.fireflycloud.net/login/login.aspx?prelogin=https%3a%2f%2fbrownedge.fireflycloud.net%2f) ### Quick Links - [Edde](https://brownedge.parentportal.biz/) - [Outlook](https://outlook.office.com/mail/) - [OneDrive](https://8884623-my.sharepoint.com/) - [Microsoft Teams](https://teams.microsoft.com/) - [Library AccessIt](https://uk.accessit.online/brw11/#!dashboard) - [All calls to school are recorded](https://www.st-maryshigh.lancs.sch.uk/contact) ### Social Media - [Facebook](https://facebook.com/BrownedgeStMarys) - [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/brownedgestmarys/) © Copyright 2020–2026 Brownedge St Mary’s Catholic High School School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://www.st-maryshigh.lancs.sch.uk/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
