Reading Award Schemes

The purpose of our reading award schemes is to encourage students to read regularly and widen their reading choices by trying a range of different genres and authors.


Olympic Reading Award

Books for this scheme are selected from a wide range of genres such as fantasy, romance, sci-fi, mysteries etc. Students must read books from different genres for each award and log them on a record card, which is then verified by parents or a member of staff.

On completion of the award, students are asked to write a review of their favourite book, which can be used as a recommendation to other students via our book blog, and newsletter.  In assembly they are awarded a certificate and either a bronze, silver or gold star-shaped pin badge to wear on their tie.
