Following the brilliantly successful Sponsored Read in September, Usborne has delivered our books carefully chosen by the teachers to meet the children's interests. We look forward to reading them! A huge thank you again to all the parents and carers for your generous support.
Also, many thanks must go to Mrs Cartwright, who organised the Sponsored read, ordered all the books and kindly sorted them and labelled them with Accelerated Reader levels too! #My Own Bookcase Reception September 2026 and Mid-Year Admissions - if you would like a tour of our wonderful school we would love to show you around - please contact us on 01507 343240 to arrange your visit.
