I'd like to thank you for all the materials you sent, especially the posters and ideas for assembly, all have come in very useful.

Secondary School, Thornbury

What people are saying about Readathon

I love the fact that you're raising money doing something that I love. I'm going to try to beat my own record from last year which was 23 books.

What people are saying about Readathon

I had all but given up on trying to get my daughter (Year 4) to read but this has given her the push she needed. We can't stop her now. Thank you."

See how this money will be spent

Well done Oathall Community College
Pupils from Oathall Community College have raised £275.75 for Readathon.

Oathall Librarian, Victoria Tolworthy said: ‘We are delighted to have taken part in Readathon. It encouraged our children to read for enjoyment and at the
same time help other children, who are not as well as themselves.’

Brough Girling, Readathon Chairman, said: ‘We are thrilled that children from Oathall have enjoyed reading lots of books and we, and the charities, would like to thank them for all the money they have raised.’
