This week, along with schools in more than 100 different countries around the world, we’ll be celebrating World Book Day!

We are passionate about the power of reading and encourage our pupils to read daily. World Book Day is a wonderful way to excite children about all the different kinds of books available, from fantasy to factual, classics to comics, there really is something for everyone!

This week we will be delving into the world of books with some fantastic activities.

Reading is not only important for learning but is also a wonderful hobby. Helping pupils become enthusiastic learners is a goal we forever strive towards at The White Horse Federation, and World Book Day is a great opportunity to celebrate this across all TWHF schools. We’d like to thank parents and our local community for all their support in encouraging reading and learning beyond the classroom.
