In 2022, we are celebrating the 25th anniversary of World Book Day – with the message for all children ‘you are a reader‘!
The mission of WBD is to promote reading for pleasure, offering every child and young person the opportunity to have a book of their own through the £1 book token scheme. At Elm Grove we have been collecting book donations from our generous families and will be handing them out to pupil on Friday 4th March.
