Summer Reading List 2010

At this term’s Parents’ Evenings there seemed to be unanimous agreement that a small selection of books which had to be read over the course of the Summer Holidays would be both instructive and helpful.

I have tried to come up with a selection which is age appropriate (though this in itself is difficult with a wide range of age and ability) and sufficiently thought-provoking for parents to consider reading the books themselves and discussing them with their sons.

The books will form part of our English teaching next year, so it will be useful if boys could return to school with their own copies in September.

Next Year’s Form 5 (this year’s 4A and 4B)

Face by Benjamin Zephaniah
Boy Overboard by Morris Gleitzman
Goodnight, Mr Tom by Michelle Magorian

Next Year’s Form 6 (this year’s 5A and 5B)

The topic for the Studied Literature Paper in Common Entrance 2011 is ‘Conflict’ and this has guided my choice.

Lord of the Flies by William Golding
Buddy by Nigel Hinton
Remembrance by Theresa Breslin
