National Year of Reading

Published by Farringtons School on Wednesday 14th of October 2026

We are delighted to be taking part in the National Year of Reading with Book Trust's Bookbuzz Secondary School Reading Programme.

Every pupil in Year 7 will receive a free book of their choice from a collection of 16 titles.

The programme encourages pupils to browse a selection of high-quality titles, evaluate their options and choose a book they genuinely want to read.

By supporting reading for pleasure, we aim to foster a positive impact on reading, spark social conversations about books with friends, family and teachers and develop vocabulary, comprehension and engagement with learning.
