The work that Lily, Louis and the team are doing at RAHP is fantastic. Reading at the heart of absolutely everything - as it should be!

Hear from Lily Staff about the amazing progress our children are making in their reading. So many came to us saying they never read. Each now are reading 3 books independently & talk about them constantly. A really special culture of reading for pleasure daisyeducationuk.com/impact/case-st…
