World Book Day (Prep and Senior)

Pupils and staff across our whole school took part in World Book Day on 7 March, the 22nd annual international celebration of reading. At the Prep, staff and pupils dressed up as their favourite fictional characters for a special literary assembly and parade. At the Senior School, activities includesd an intriguing murder mystery to solve in the library (‘Who the dickens killed Charles Dickens?’), a visit from author Julian Sedgwick, as well as performances of The Mysterious Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde and A Christmas Carol. At 10.25am every pupil and member of staff across the whole school stopped whatever they were doing (be it Maths, hockey or Chemistry) to take part in ‘drop everything and read’ for 15 minutes.
