Book Fair 2025

19th May 2025

Thank You for Supporting Our Book Fair!

A huge thank you to everyone who supported our recent Book Fair! We’re thrilled to share that, thanks to your generosity, we raised over £1,100 — an incredible achievement that has helped us secure many free books for our school.

Congratulations to all the prizewinners from our Design a Book Cover competition:

P.1 Elsie

P.2 Tara

P.3 Ronan

P.4 Lily-Rose

P.5 Sé 

P.6 Sarah-Patrice

P.7 Leo (absent from photo, Anna received in his place)

Leon received a special recognition from Mrs Lyness for his cover.

All of their fantastic creations can be seen pictured below.

You’ll also spot some of our enthusiastic readers with a small selection of the wonderful new books we received and are now available in school.

Reading is one of the most valuable gifts we can give our children. Here are just a few important benefits of reading:

  • Improves vocabulary and language skills

  • Boosts imagination and creativity

  • Enhances concentration and focus

  • Develops empathy and understanding of the world

  • Supports academic success across all subjects

Thank you once again for making this event such a success and for continuing to encourage a love of reading in our school community.
