National Reading Week marked at Highbridge’s King Alfred School

-

Students at a Highbridge school have been taking part in a special Reading Week aimed at boosting their interest in books.

The Year 7 pupils at King Alfred School were given an opportunity to read a book of their choice.

“This has been very popular, so much so that even senior staff took up the opportunity to join in,” the school’s Jean-Paul Hoskins told Burnham-On-Sea.com.

The students are also taking part in an accelerated reading programme, where students read a book and are later tested on their knowledge.

To mark the event, all the students entered a prize draw and the two winners were Fiona Lodge and Amy Faulks.
