We will be holding our annual Book Fair from next Monday 29th September to Friday 3rd October during lunchtimes and at the KS3 Information Evening. It is a great way to purchase discounted books, whilst allowing us to acquire free books for use in lessons and lunchtime clubs.

[St Johns English Department @SJBAberdareEng]

This will be 'cashless', so books can be purchased by using the 'contactless' machine, paying online or by buying a digital gift voucher.
We would encourage pupils to browse at the Book Fair from next Monday onwards, where they can create a 'wish list' to be discussed at home.
