Reading Week may have initiated our 'Staff Readers' promotion, but we plan to continue showcasing our community's love for books. Today, we feature Ms. Akram from the Finance Department, a regular patron of our school libraries.

Ahead of reading week, our House Librarians collated wish lists of new books for their house libraries. Here are a few photos of what the pupils wished for.

Cosy Reading Day in Fisher Library always attracts crowds! Pupils queue for free hot chocolate (with whipped cream and marshmallows), settling down in amongst the sofas, beanbags and cushions with a good book and soothing background music. #WAReadingWeek

We are happy to share even more staff readers with you, with today's installment coming from Mrs. Coen and Mrs. Scott. #WAReadingWeek

Garland making has returned for #WAReadingWeek 2024. Miss Smith has been tirelessly cutting out what feels like millions of paper circles using pages out of old books, so that pupils can construct bookish garlands to decorate their dorms with. Hooray for repurposing old books!

We hope everyone has been enjoying #WAReadingWeek so far. We have two more Staff Readers to share with you. Including our very own Head of Libraries, Mrs. Morrisby!
