Thursday 5th March 2026

This morning our corridors didn’t just welcome teachers - they welcomed heroes and villains straight off the page.

From iconic capes to notorious cloaks, our staff went all‑in to bring books to life. Another outstanding effort from the team, proving once again that reading is an adventure best shared.

World Book Day 2026 was yet another reminder of the passion, imagination and dedication our staff bring to our community every single year.

Thank you to everyone for making World Book Day 2026 such a success. The energy, creativity, and teamwork shown across our school community brought every activity to life.

Students took part in a Dragon Treasure Trail around the library, uncovering hidden letters to reveal a mystery word. Our Book Sweepstake added an extra layer of excitement, while tutor groups competed in a Reading Challenge, with one group emerging as the top collective readers. We also celebrated our Top Individual Readers, recognising those who have shown exceptional commitment to reading throughout the term.

After school, students showcased their vocabulary skills and competitive spirit in a lively Spelling Bee, rounding off the day with great enthusiasm.

Thank you to all the staff who worked behind the scenes to coordinate today’s events. Your hard work made the day feel special for everyone.

Our amazing school librarian, Mrs Hawgood, never fails to impress us with her array of costume ideas for every event we hold in school, and today was no different.

Stepping completely outside her kind‑hearted character, she arrived as one of the most fearsome headmistresses of all time, Miss Trunchbull. Armed with a delicious chocolate cake too, who knows what went down in assembly!
