📚✨ Get Ready to Read! ✨📚
This year at Abbeyfield School, we’re launching a variety of fun and exciting reading challenges and competitions for both students and staff! It’s all part of the UK Government’s National Year of Reading 2026 – a chance for everyone to dive into books, discover new stories, and celebrate the power of reading together.
And don’t forget our school’s reading motto:
🌟 “We Read to Succeed at Abbeyfield School.” 🌟
Whether you love adventure stories, gripping mysteries, or fascinating non-fiction, there’s a challenge for you. Let’s make 2026 a year to remember – one page at a time! 📖💡
Athelstan Recommended ReadsÂ
The Athelstan Recommends Reads competition encourages students across the Athelstan Trust to share their love of reading by submitting a short book review (40–60 words) via the QR code posters around the school or by accessing the online competition form using the button below. Selected recommendations will be displayed as shelf-edge signs in school libraries across the Athelstan Trust, and one entry each term will be randomly chosen to win a prize. For more information, speak to Mr. Russell in English or Mr. Evans in the LRC.Â
