This year we have started a very exciting joint initiative working closely with Westlake Girls High School to support our students in a reading mileage programme. We have buddied a Milford School student with a Westlake girl who supports their buddy with reading. In each session they read together, forming not only a regular reading pairing, but also someone that they can build a relationship and bond with throughout the sessions. We are midway through the programme now, and the children are enjoying their Thursday morning sessions. We hope to continue this initiative until the end of Term 3.
