Reading

Hindringham Primary School, Norfolk - reading

Reading is a top priority and favourite activity here at Hindringham.

We aim to instill a life-long love of reading in the children and our new library area is proving very popular with pupils of all ages. In this year's SATS, 80% of our Yr 6 pupils achieved the highest level 5 in Reading.

We have a Bookswap Box for pupils and their parents to ensure that we can all share our latest favourite read! We also have an active after-school Book Club with children contributing to the national Reading Review Group. They regularly enjoy meeting popular authors such as Geraldine McCaughrean and Caroline Lawrence.

“Pupils who find learning difficult, such as in reading and writing, benefit from good support.” OFSTED 2008

We have many budding poets here and for several years have produced prize winners in the Wells Poetry-Next-the-Sea Festival.

A chest full of memories, flying a kite


A Chest Full of Memories

Flying a kite above the beach,
the memory of sand
between your feet.
Memories of catching crabs
in a bucket.
Memories of watching boats
landing on the shore.
Memories of climbing up sand dunes,
then jumping off the top.

Treasured memories - Tom Runciman Aged 6
