What's new?
Happy World Book Day 2026! What a fantastic day we've had celebrating World Book Day at school! The corridors were filled with amazing characters, creative costumes, and a shared love of reading. From classic storybook heroes to modern favourites, it was wonderful to see so many pupils bringing their favourite books to life. Throughout the day, students enjoyed a range of activities including story time, book sharing, and exploring new authors. Each class also had a surprise reader join them to share a story, which made the day even more exciting! A huge well done to all our pupils for their brilliant costumes and enthusiasm, and a big thank you to our families for your support in helping make the day so special. Remember: a book can take you anywhere!
