King's Cool Readers

Do you enjoy reading? We are starting a new "King's Cool Readers" book group for Year 7 and 8 which will meet in the Library during a lunchtime once a month. 

We are hoping to have the first meeting next week on Wednesday 13 October. The Library will just be open for King's Cool Readers during this lunchtime and you can bring your sandwiches or just come along after you've had your lunch. The first meeting will be about getting to know each other and talking about our favourite books and authors. We will also talk about what activities we'd like to plan for future meetings.

Further information from Mrs Dawes, Mrs Snee or Clifford the Library Assistant, or just come along on Wednesday next week.

Love Reading?

It's proven that confident readers perform better in school. So I'm trying a new website to help encourage pupils to love reading. 

Lovereading4schools.co.uk (a website enthusiastically endorsed by Children's Laureate Jacqueline Wilson) has expertly created reading lists for schools. Uniquely, pupils and parents can download free opening extracts of the books to find out what a book is like. All the books are available to buy with a 25% discount on the RRP. For every £100 spent by parents we will be given a £5 book voucher to help our school library, benefiting your son even further.

Click below / go to the web address below to go to our online reading lists.
You will be asked to register as a parent and create your own account. It's free, and very important as it enables us to be sent our free book vouchers for the school library. All you need is an email address and a password that you can remember. Once you have registered you will need to login each time you visit the school reading lists. After registration you will be sent to the schools book page and there just click on any of the book lists to see the books in those lists. Finally, please remember to bookmark our school's page to make it easier for you next time you visit the site.

King's Cool Reads


To celebrate World Book Day this year many Forms filled in a King's Cool Reads recommendation slip to tell their friends about a book that they have particularly enjoyed. These are now on display in the Library. Come and have a look and see if you can find yours!
