Challney Reader

Reading remains of critical importance for so many brilliant reasons and should continue throughout this period of remote education. Every Friday morning, until 9:30am, your son will be set resources to support the 'Reading Aloud' initiative which for KS3 is focused on 'Private Peaceful' and KS4 'All Quiet on the Western Front'. These will take the form of comprehension activities and chaptered readings by staff at Challney, sent out by Mr Cross each week.

Our YouTube channel contains a library of audiobooks that have been read by staff to support your son in developing reading fluency at home. These should be used in addition to reading, not as a replacement, so where possible ensure he has access to high quality texts, either through the local library or our school e-library. 

E-Safety

Due to the increase in time that your son will be spending online, it is important to ensure he is using the internet safely and appropriately. Staff at Challney have produced instructional videos to support you with this in; English, Urdu & Bengali. The following links are also available for further support;
