Read had the pleasure of attending @selby_rufc Mini’s Festival this morning.

We loved having the opportunity to watch so many talented children play within local clubs - with many players being pupils from Read themselves.

Thank you Selby R.U.F.C for hosting a wonderful day!

Year 7 loved finding their bearings outside in Maths on Friday! Pupils were able to draw diagrams on the quad to show the bearing of one school location from another. Pupils had just learnt the key principles of measuring bearings and loved putting them to use outside.

The Joker and Wednesday Addams looked worryingly at home in our tranquil grounds… but when we have dastardly pirates teaching in UJS, perhaps it is to be expected…

It can be a bit of a “Squash and Squeeze” to pack even more excitement into World Book Day, but we certainly managed it in LJS today.

Our youngest Read-ers enjoyed a magical day embracing many of Julia Donaldson’s most loved characters.

Pupils deserve a well-earned break. A beautiful moment was Yr6 playing Jingle Bells on handbells donated by The Selby Bellringers. Here’s their superb efforts alongside photos of many festive activities at Read. It’s lovely to reflect on wonderful Read life! #topschool #educate

It’s super to spend time with loved ones eating, drinking & making merry. Tired Read parents, with leftovers, put your feet up because Read pupils are whizzes in the kitchen. End of term saw butter biscuits, duck with noodles & hand-plucked pheasants from Food Prep #lifeskills 🍽
