Diversity Reading List

Diversity Reading List

 

At St Vincent’s we want to offer our children a diet of diverse reading books that represent our global community.

Some of the texts are studied within class as part of our English curriculum, some are within our attractive reading areas and some are studied within our PSHCE curriculum as part of our valued teaching of the protected characteristics. Please see below some of the popular listed titles that we offer at St Vincent’s.
