We have the amazing Scholastic Bookfair visiting us in the library from Thursday 14th Dec - Monday 18th December. It's a super place to pick up fantastic bookish Christmas gifts and little bits of stationery! Students can pay in cash, online on that day, or parents can log in and pay in advance and this year we do have the capacity to take card payments. We can earn up to 60% in free books for school, so every single book purchased will benefit students' learning, literacy and, of course, well-being . 

There will be a prize draw for book tokens to the value of £5. English teachers will nominate students and a student drawn at random from each year group will win a token redeemable at the fair. Books will be available at lunchtime and after school in this period. 

There is a link to some of the books available here, so students and parents can browse and purchase ahead if they wish.
