World Book Day once again provided just the excuse staff needed to get dressed up! This year we were visited by an Oompa Loompa, the Queen of Hearts, Jekyll & Hyde and Wednesday Addams, among many others (see the photos below).

Our amazing Librarians, Mrs Cooper-Evans and Mrs Keohane put together some fantastic events for World Book Day, including a Who’s Who book quiz (which you can find on our Antares page, HERE), a treasure hunt to find all the dressed up staff, a book swap for both students and staff, which was incredibly well received, and KS4 had a visit from local author KM Hamilton who spoke about her journey to becoming a published author.

Here at Carrington, we are keen to promote a love of reading and of storytelling, not just on World Book Day, but EVERY DAY. Our well-stocked library, Antares, is always here for students to choose a new book and disappear into the many different worlds that reading is a portal to.
