World Book Day 2025!
Hub Events
We had lots of staff members dress up as beloved book characters on Thursday 6th March to celebrate World Book Day. Well done to the World Affairs faculty for winning Best Dressed. We had some amazing costumes this year, what a great way to get students talking about books!
Staff members also wore badges as a clue to which book is their favourite for students to take part in the World Book Day Treasure Hunt. The students who discover the most characters from staff members clues win a prize.
Mrs Burton also hosted a Potato Decorating Competition in the Independent Learning Hub where entrants decorated a potato as their favourite book character, the entries were absolutely amazing, and we were blown away.
Year 7 Readathon
Read for Good’s sponsored read is a fun activity to get the whole school reading that gives books to children in hospital and raises money for more books for our College.
For this sponsored read, students can choose whatever they would like to read whether that is non-fiction text, comics, newspapers, recipes or even an instruction manual, anything goes!
Those taking part have the choice to be sponsored per page, per book or every ten minutes they spend reading.
Funds raised from the sponsored read will help to pay for brand new books and storyteller visits for children in hospital. Books and stories cheer kids up, relieve the boredom and help children in hospital feel a bit better.
“Good books are as important as good doctors when you are in hospital. One makes your body better and the other your soul”. – Adam (age 13) Leeds General Hospital
How does a sponsored read help our school?
Schools who run Readathon every year get better results, and our school will get to choose free book vouchers with 20% of the money we raise!
