What an incredible World Book Day 2026 we’ve had!
This year marks the National Year of Reading, and our whole school embraced the celebration with enthusiasm, creativity and a shared mission to ignite a lifelong love of books.
From the moment the doors opened, the corridors became a living storybook. Children and staff arrived dressed as their favourite characters—superheroes, magical beings, animals, adventurers and colourful story favourites—bringing instant joy and excitement to the day.
Throughout the school, classes took part in a vibrant mix of activities designed to show just how magical reading can be. Children enjoyed story-sharing sessions, with older pupils reading to younger ones, book recommendations being swapped, and wonderful discussions about characters and plots filling every corner.
Children explored a wide range of authors, poets and genres, discovering new favourites and deepening their appreciation for the world of stories. To round off the day, the whole school came together for the Ultimate World Book Day Quiz—an exciting finale packed with riddles, mystery extracts, character challenges and story soundtracks. The teamwork, laughter and excitement during the quiz showed just how much the children had absorbed throughout the day.
With it being the National Year of Reading, we are more committed than ever to helping every child find the books that light a spark inside them—stories that make them think, laugh, imagine and dream. World Book Day wasn’t just a celebration; it was a launchpad for a year filled with reading adventures across all genres. Thank you to all our families for the effort that went into costumes, conversations about books at home, and supporting children on their journey as confident, passionate readers. Here’s to a wonderful Year of Reading and many more stories yet to be discovered.
Happy reading, everyone! 📚✨
