Thank you @CheshireELS for bringing the library bus to school today. The Reading Champions had an amazing time choosing books for our classes. The way the children talked about their choices and their knowledge of books was amazing to see. Happy Reading! 📚💕

So lovely to have Code Name Kingfisher by Liz Kessler and The Things We Leave Behind by Clare Furniss on the shortlist for the 2025 Cheshire Schools’ Book Award! Thank you @CheshireELS ✨📚 @lizkesslerbooks @ClareFurniss

Alongside my colleagues, @CllrRDaniels and Cllr Charles Hardy, it was a real pleasure to visit the 'Cheshire Education Library Service' this week. Their ethos is: 'Enriching learning and promoting reading for pleasure' which is something I 100% agree with and support @CheshireELS
