World Book Day 2025 was celebrated this year through imagination, fun, and activities all connected to reading. The pupils looked brilliant in their costumes, with some collaborating as tutor groups, others combining ideas with friends, as well as many dressing as their own favourite book character.

The Year 8s contributed ideas for our delicious, story-based lunch, while other activities included 'Create a book cover' based on Year 8 invented book blurbs and 'Guess the staff member behind the book' competition. Some lessons were briefly paused at an opportune time by the sound of the 'Drop Everything and Read' jingle, and it was wonderful to see Lower, Middle, and Upper school children reading to each other when all pupils participated in paired reading within House groups. A huge thank you to all parents and staff for supporting this day!
