It's important to keep reading over the summer when we aren't at school. Here are some great books you could read while you are off school. Pop into the library when we are back and let us know what you've been reading!

It has been wonderful meeting our future year 7s today for their induction day. They have been in the library making origami hats, foxes, filling in flowers and doing a treasure hunt! We look forward to seeing more future students tomorrow and to seeing them all in September.

Our latest B.O.T.M. is Holly Jackson’s ‘A Good Girl’s Guide To Murder’ which has been hugely popular! If you haven’t read it yet then give it a go. If you have then pop into the library for the sequel or similar recommendations. #readingforpleasure
