World Book Day 2024

Bigger and better every year – that’s how The Ashcombe does World Book Day!  From creative writing workshops delivered by a published author, to embedding reading activities in all lessons (the students were very excited about being taught PE by Ms Trunchbull), staff posters with their favourite or most influential book, and a cast of literary characters walking the corridors and teaching – Marley’s Ghost anyone?

And it’s not just for one day - the Accelerated Reader programme which supports reading skills and aims to integrate reading seamlessly into the daily lives of Ashcombe students, keeps a live tally on the books and word count Year 7 & 8 students are reading – take a look on the website Accelerated Reader page for more information.
