At King’s Academy Gomer, reading isn’t just a lesson—it’s a pleasure, and we’re committed to providing every opportunity for our pupils to explore the joy of reading in a way that feels fun and engaging. We e believe in the power of reading for pleasure and the lifelong benefits it brings. Research shows that children who read regularly not only improve their literacy skills but also enhance their future life chances. Reading helps to broaden horizons, develop empathy, and ignite the imagination—skills that stay with our pupils throughout their lives.
To nurture this love of reading, we’ve created special spaces for children to enjoy books during their breaktimes. Our Calm Zone Reading Trolley is a favourite, offering a cosy corner complete with a wide selection of books, blankets, and cushions. We’re proud that so many of our children choose to spend their breaktimes here, curling up with a good book and sharing their passion for reading with friends.
