Literacy in St Ronan's

14th Nov 2025

At St Ronan’s  we believe that literacy is the key to unlocking every child’s potential. From the very first day of school, we nurture a love of words, stories, and communication — helping our pupils become confident readers, imaginative writers, and thoughtful speakers.

Our literacy programme is designed to:

  • Build strong foundations in phonics, spelling, and grammar through engaging, structured lessons.
  • Inspire curiosity by exploring a wide range of books — from classic tales to modern favourites.
  • Encourage creativity through storytelling, poetry, and opportunities to write for real purposes.
  • Develop communication skills that help children express their ideas clearly and confidently.
