This annual celebration of authors, illustrators, books and the joy of reading is one of the highlights of our school year. 

We love celebrating the work of the charity World Book Day, and their purpose: To champion the fun of reading because it seriously improves children’s lives.

Each year in March, we join in with the national buzz around reading and the celebration of books when we can encourage everyone to let go of pressure and expectations and give children a choice, and a chance, to grow a lifelong love of reading.

World Book Day is a chance to spotlight and celebrate reading for pleasure, supporting children's autonomy in book choice, and embedding a habit of reading that brings a wide range of benefits.

During the day, the children receive their £1 book token.
