The Readathon was launched as part of the World Book Day celebrations in March when students received a sponsorship card and passport to collect reading miles to travel around the world.

Everyone that took part in the Readathon entered into a prize draw. Reece Wilson and Harrison Abraham were chosen as the winners and received a collection of books and a National Book Token.

Librarian Ms Wendy McCabe said ‘Readathon is a fantastic initiative that motivates even the most reluctant readers to have a go. Thank you to everyone who took part and contributed I am delighted that we were able to help this worthwhile cause’

Literacy coordinator Ms Lauren Fitzjohn said ‘It was lovely to see so many students getting involved and making a difference to others through their love of reading.’
