Our reading club began in November 2002 and takes place in the Library on Thursday lunchtimes.

It is for Year 7 pupils who enjoy reading and reviewing books, acting out dramas, corresponding with authors via websites, comparing book and film versions and anything else the pupils themselves are keen to do during our Reading Club time.

Our plans for the future meetings include having author visits, inviting teachers to speak about their favourite books when they were at school, cinema and theatre visits - every week we think of something else we would love to do!!

If you would like to be part of our Reading Club please see Mrs Simpkin in the library.
