At St John’s Meads, our values of community, love, independence and generosity guide everything we do — including how we encourage reading at home.

We know that evenings can be full, so we have created a Virtual Library of bedtime stories. These stories offer a calm, comforting moment at the end of the day and support children’s language, imagination and emotional wellbeing.

Reading together strengthens relationships, builds empathy, and nurtures children’s confidence and language.

A short conversation after listening to the story with questions such as “What was your favourite part?” helps children to deepen their understanding and this will have an even greater impact.

Story Requests: Do let us know if there are any specific story requests, and we will see what we can do.
