School Partnerships Striving for Excellence
Oxford University Press
Over the last few years, we have developed and strengthened close links with Oxford University Press. We worked in partnership with them over the course of a year to develop their new reading scheme ‘Readerful’. This scheme aims to build fluency through Reading for Pleasure. We were able to sample books with classes across the school, providing feedback on the successes and needs for our pupils. These rich, linked library of inclusive, age-appropriate books helped boost fluency, knowledge, vocabulary and motivation even further. Oxford University Press were so impressed with the depth of knowledge and expertise of the staff taking part that they then asked us to be involved in making their promotional video for the new scheme.
Due to the success of the video, we were then asked to take part in a photoshoot for OUP which included a range of their resources. In school we already use a plethora of OUP products that were included in the photoshoot, but it was also a fantastic opportunity to get an exclusive look at new resources that are being published at a later date.
