Week 21 #AttendanceS

2026 is the #NationalYearOfReading and we have a series of exciting events to promote a culture of independent reading across the school.

One of our aims is to massively improve our #library provision, opening up the space and significantly improving the range of texts so that we have the stock to engage pupils with a wide range of interests.

Whilst we have secured funding to purchase new books you have also donated over 500 good condition, secondary-appropriate texts which we have catalogued and shelved.

We want to say a huge #ThankYou to everyone who has so kindly donated books.

OUR APPEAL IS STILL OPEN
So, if you're having a de-clutter, please consider sending any pre-loved books into school - there is a drop-off box at the main school reception.
