Well, we always look forward to it—World Book Day, and what a cracker of a day it was at Wade Deacon!
It is a testament to the power of words and good storytelling that, often years after we first read a story or meet an incredible character, we still remember how we felt when that amazing reading experience whisked us away to a special place in our imagination. That magic was truly alive at Wade Deacon today!
Our wonderful staff went all out, swapping their work clothes for the outfits (and personalities!) of literary legends—heroes, heroines, and villains from the pages of some of the most beloved stories. The joy, creativity, and laughter shared reminded us all why storytelling is such a timeless and treasured art.
A huge shout-out to Ms. Mawdsley for organising this incredible event and to all the staff who got involved—you made the event unforgettable! Thank you for bringing books to life and inspiring our students with the joy of reading
"Readathon 2025 was a massive success, raising an incredible £600 through the power of reading! A huge thank you to everyone who took part—their efforts helped to get children reading for fun while supporting a great cause.
Through our sponsored Readathon, they inspire a love of reading while raising money to buy books for schools and bring the magic of stories to children in hospitals via their mobile bookcases and resident storytellers.
