Library lessons
All year 7, 8 & 9 students enjoy a library lesson within their English lessons once a fortnight, here they are able to borrow books to equip them for their Flying Start at the beginning of P5 each school day. They also have time to peruse the vast selection of library books, which are supplied by the School Library Service, as well as to discuss and receive any suggestions from the School Librarian.
Hampshire Book Award
Each year 12 avid readers are chosen to take part in the Hampshire Book Award. This involves reading six shortlisted books and reviewing them, then participating in a voting day for the winning book and author. In October a day out is organised for the students to meet the winning author at a book signing.
Book Buzz
At the beginning of Year 7 students are asked to pay 拢3 for a Book Buzz book. The Book Trust select about 15 books, which each student will spend a few lessons choosing the book they would like to buy. They have the opportunity to listen to videos from the book authors and to look at book samples allowing them to make an informed choice. This gives every student a beautiful new reading book to enjoy as they start their English lessons.

Waterstones Children鈥檚 Book Prize 2018
Overall Winner:聽The Hate U Give聽by Angie Thomas
Waterstones writes:
It鈥檚 our absolute pleasure to announce Angie Thomas鈥檚聽The Hate U Give聽as the winner of our Waterstones Children鈥檚 Book Prize 2018. Voted by our booksellers, our annual prize for children鈥檚 writing and illustration is very much an award decided by readers for readers, seeking out the mega-stars of the future.
Written in the turbulent wake of police violence in North America,聽The Hate U Give聽revolves around Starr Carter, a teenager whose life is split between the affluent school she attends and the much poorer suburb that is her home. Her best friend鈥檚 fatal shooting by a police officer abruptly brings those two worlds together, compelling Starr to defend her friend鈥檚 memory and force the media to understand the truth behind the tragedy. Wearing a serious message with wit, life and charm,聽The Hate U Give聽is an immediate 21st century classic: a book for all.
鈥淭he Hate U Give should have a readership far beyond a core audience of young adults. Ours is a children鈥檚 prize, but there is no upper age limit to being stunned by beautiful writing of this visceral power.鈥�
James Daunt, Waterstones Managing Director.
