• Thursday 10 July 2025 Better Reading Partnership Prize-Giving Celebration We had a wonderful time celebrating the achievements of all the 28 children who had worked so well with becoming even Better Readers over the past year at school. There was tea and cake to enjoy as the children all received a special certificate, a pre-loved book to keep and a party bag with goodies in. It was a lovely chance for our dedicated and specially trained Reading Volunteers to meet the parents and carers of the children they have worked with over the year and also a chance for us at the school to say thank you for all of the time and energy they have given us to support our readers. Our heartfelt thanks go to Mrs Robson, Mrs Mathers, Mrs Lucas, Mrs Harmsworth and Mrs Jones - we couldn't do it without you!
