Reading Scheme
Summer Reading Suggestions for Year 9
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. If you read some of these over the summer you will be well-placed to start your reading scheme tasks when you arrive at the school in August.
Remember to bring your current reading book with you to school – you should have it with you at all times!
