This autumn term, as part of our celebration of the National Year of Reading, our library has been transformed into a beautiful autumn garden, filled with colourful leaves, pumpkins and the warmth of the season. This welcoming space invites children to explore and enjoy books together, helping to build positive reading habits and nurture a genuine love of stories. Just as autumn leaves fall and new seeds take root, our Autumn Reading Garden reflects our belief that, in a rich and inspiring space, a lifelong love of books can grow and flourish.
As part of our commitment to the National Year of Reading 2026, a campaign led by the Department for Education and the National Literacy Trust, we are encouraging parents and carers to make use of the Purple Mash platform at home. Purple Mash provides a rich library of reading materials and literacy activities suitable for a range of ages and abilities, helping to build confidence and enjoyment in reading beyond the classroom. We hope families will take advantage of this valuable resource to support children’s reading journeys throughout the year.
You can find your child’s username and password in the back of their reading diary. If you require any assistance with access or log-ins, please speak to your child’s teacher or the School Office.
