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.

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."

YOU'RE all amazing!

In the past 12 months you've raised a WHOPPING...

See how this money will be spent

News from Huish Episcopi Secondary School
Students at Huish Episcopi Secondary School recently ran their most successful Readathon. Library Assistant, Miss Phillipa Burrell, and staff from the English department encouraged Year 7 students to read as many books as they could over a period of three weeks by asking for sponsors from their friends and family.

The winning form was 7LJP and all together, the school raised £676.10. During Children’s Book week (6th- 12th October) a cake sale, auction and quiz took place in the Study Centre Library.

Phillipa Burrell would like to thank all the students and staff for raising this large amount of money and hopes to raise even more next year!

...And Readathon would like to thank Miss Burrell for all her hard work and congratulate the pupils on all their awesome reading!!!!
