World Book Day is Back!

Thursday 6 March 2025 is World Book Day and once again HGS will be celebrating with a wide range of literacy inspired events across the entire week.

• The annual bookmark competition,
• Oracy Workshops with an external visitor
• Break time ‘Fireside Reads’,
• Fancy dress costume competition and catwalk,
• ‘The Case of the Stolen Book’ Treasure Hunt.

Students dressing up are asked to make a a donation of £1 either in cash on the day, or via ParentPay. One of the charities we are supporting will be Give A Book which is dedicated to promoting books and the pleasure of reading, particularly with disadvantaged children and in places such as prisons and schools.

Celebrating literacy and a love of reading should not just be the domain of primary schools; books are hugely important in our society, and in our school, and we hugely appreciate your support for this event.
