The Story Lab Programme – Early Years Foundation Stage
“Working with Story Lab has made a real difference for our Reception children at Hollydale Primary School in Peckham. Many of our pupils start school with low levels of language, speaking and listening skills, and Story Lab has supported them to make clear progress in all of these areas. We have seen increased confidence, stronger communication skills and greater engagement with books and stories. Most importantly, the programme genuinely nurtures a love of reading in our children, which is having a positive impact across the classroom.” Farhana Sultana, Assistant Headteacher, Hollydale Primary School, Lambeth.
