Reading Suggestions for Year 7
We have an independent reading scheme for Years 7-9. Pupils are expected to work independently to read – and write about – six novels over the course of each year, progressing from the Bronze Award in Year 7 to the Silver in Year 8 and the Gold in Year 9.
The novels listed below are recommended reading for the independent reading scheme. Remember to bring your current reading book with you to school – you should have it with you at all times!
