We are incredibly lucky to have our brand-new Reading Book Hut, stocked with a wonderful selection of new books for children and families to enjoy. We warmly invite parents to borrow books, share them together at home, and return them when finished so that everyone in our school community can benefit. The Book Hut is located outside of the library and can be accessed via the KS1 gate.

Reading for pleasure is one of the most powerful ways to support a child’s learning and wellbeing. Research from the National Literacy Trust shows that children who enjoy reading are more likely to read regularly, develop stronger literacy skills, build empathy and improve their overall wellbeing. In the UK, reading for enjoyment is a national priority, with the National Year of Reading 2026 encouraging families to make reading a part of everyday life. Thank you for helping us create a thriving culture of reading and for making the most of this fantastic new resource.
