Last term students from Years 7 to 13 volunteered to take on the challenge of boosting reading across the school by introducing competitions, recommending their favourite books and even hosting a popular book swap event for our Year 7s!
Following the Autumn half-term our Book Champions got busy recording the number of books being read by our brilliant forms and students.
We can report that it has been a brilliantly bookish Autumn term with pupils in the main school having read over 3,000 books between them!!!
Emily F, 7EVA was our top reader in the school and managed to fit in reading 123 books this term, that’s an average of almost nine books per school week! Other top readers in the school were: Elise C, 9EDA; Cecilia B, 10SSR; and Ava S, 11EJO.
None of the above bookworms are from Year 8 who managed to read an average of four books per pupil or 8 books per class each week last term. This worked out as a whopping 791 books read by Year 8 who were the Reading Challenge Year group winners.
The competition is continuing this term so we hope everyone kept their reading up over the holidays and have plenty of books to add to their form totals.
