Accredited SharpReading Schools
SPREYDON SCHOOL, Christchurch, New Zealand
In 2017, with the full support of the school Board, Spreydon School completed all the requirements for accreditation to become our first SharpReading school thanks to the commitment from Rick Wardrop (past principal) and Andrea Stuart (present principal).
All teachers are accredited as being fluent in at least one of SharpReading's stages and all classrooms regularly teach using the SharpReading approach. This work is monitored and supported by the in-school trainers Andrea Barr and Janine Greer, experienced and dedicated SharpReading trainers who have also assisted us with In-School training in SharpReading schools in Queensland. Well done Spreydon.
