Scholastic Book Fair 3-17th May 2018
We will be holding a Scholastic Book Fair in the school library from 3-17th May 2018. A Scholastic Book Fair is a fun, pop-up event that’s all about books and a celebration of reading that puts the very best books directly into pupils’ hands. During these dates mobile bookcases packed with over 200 of the newest and best books from over sixty publishers will be available for pupils to buy, helping them develop a life-long love of reading. With books starting from only £2.99, plus exclusive titles and a 50% discount on all RRP that you won’t see in the shops or at any other fairs, there’s sure to be a book for everyone! Please feel free to browse the current book selection.
Pupils will be able to visit the fair during their English class and identify any books they would like to purchase. We would ask, where possible, that the exact money is brought into school for them to be able to purchase their chosen book.
