As part of our drive to maintain, promote and engage pupil interest in reading, the school is celebrating World Book Day on Thursday 7th March.

World Book Day celebrates the joy and value of books and reading, especially for children. To help get them started on their reading journey, every child receives a £1 World Book Day Book Token that can either be exchanged for one of ten special £1 World Book Day books or used to redeem against any book costing £2.99 or more. You can find out more about the books online at worldbookday.com/books.

Students will also be able to take part in different activities throughout the day with the aim of sampling a variety of fiction and non-fiction texts relating to their different lessons. Year 7 students also have the opportunity to meet the author, Hayley Long, who is a nominee for this year's Brilliant Book Award.

As part of this event, students may dress up as a character from any book. All that we ask in return for this is a small donation of £1. The monies raised will be used to purchase innovative literacy provisions for the students and re-stock the Secret Bookcase, which has depleted in size again since our last donation drive.
