World Book Day
Thursday 6th March 2025
As always, we are inviting pupils to come to school dressed as their favourite book character. We understand that some children really don’t like dressing up, so if they’d rather, they can bring an item from their favourite book and wear their own clothes.

Please don’t spend lots of money on costumes, homemade is great!!

Staff will be dressing as Julie Donaldson characters!

We can’t wait to see all your costumes.
