A group of our wonderfully talented Year 9 students recently attended a very important event and performed a scene from a play called ‘X Marks The Spot’- an hilarious and poignant portrayal of the importance of reading. The play reflected perfectly the core values at Acklam Grange that reading for pleasure is intrinsically linked to success.
The launch of ‘ The Middlesbrough Reading Promise’ brought a wide range of delegates together, all with the shared goal of making Middlesbrough a ‘Reading Town’ and ensuring that reading is a priority for all families in the area.
At Acklam Grange we want everyone in our school family to understand the value of reading and make a pledge to be part of ‘The Middlesbrough Reading Promise.’ So this summer we are asking everyone including students, parents, guardians and staff to make a pledge to become part of something really special and help make Middlesbrough a ‘Reading Town.’
