Congratulations to our Reading Challenge champions: Parsons class!

Parsons will enjoy an afternoon in the library in their pyjamas, later in the year.

Also, our Class Reading Stars celebrated their success with new badges and books, while our school-wide winner, Leo, received a special Champion badge and a book voucher.

Beyond the prizes, the challenge was a massive success, raising £4,000 to support our school. Well done to everyone who picked up a book and joined the fun! Did you know? According to OECD research (2002), 'reading for pleasure' is the single most important indicator of a child’s future success. It actually surpasses the influence of socioeconomic background or parental education.

Engaging in daily reading for enjoyment is a powerful predictor of better academic performance, higher cognitive progress, and increased career success later in life.
