World Book Day 2025!

This year we will be celebrating World Book Day on Friday 7th March.

We are going to be having a theme of ‘snuggle up and read’ and will be inviting the children to come to school in their pyjamas to take part in a bedtime read in the hall. If your child would like to dress up as a character from a book that would also be fine but please do not feel that you need to buy a costume especially for the day. Alternatively, if your children would prefer to, they can wear their normal school uniform.

Throughout the day we will be sharing lots of stories, having a World Book Day Assembly and all of the adults will be reading to a different class than the one they would normally read to.

All of the children will be bringing home a £1 World Book Day Book Token that can either be exchanged for one of 10 special World Book Day books or used to get £1 off any book costing £2.99 or more.

You can find your nearest bookseller at:

https://www.worldbookday.com/books-and-tokens/books/participating-retailers/

If you type in ‘World Book Day’ into Amazon, you can also find books for only £1.
