Year 8

These are our most requested titles of the last 12 months. With Boy 87 boy Ele Fountain and Boys Don’t Cry from Malorie Blackman leading the way.
The Tutor Time Reading Programme (TTRP) is designed to expose students regularly to good quality modern and classic texts.

The aim of the programme is to assist with catchup, but also to ensure students at every level are developing a love of reading and accessing texts, vocabulary and language that are a higher level than they could read by themselves.
