We are delighted to share that our school has been selected—out of hundreds of secondary schools—to receive the Brilliant Box of Books, a generous gift from Read for Good, a branch of Scholastic dedicated to inspiring young readers.

This special box is filled with a diverse range of books across different genres and age groups, ensuring that every student can find something they love. The books were gifted to encourage the joy of reading and the excitement of receiving books as presents.

One of our enthusiastic Year 9 students, Beatrice Buzzing, has been volunteering with our librarian, Mrs. Smith, as part of her Duke of Edinburgh award. She has been running her own book group, and they were thrilled to open the prize! Since then, the group has been busy selecting books and distributing them to students from Year 7 to Sixth Form.

Additionally, our top ten most dedicated library users have each received a specially chosen book from the collection as a reward for their love of reading.

We are incredibly grateful for this wonderful opportunity to enhance our school’s reading community and can’t wait to see our students dive into these fantastic books! ✨
