Today, every Year 7 pupil at St Peter’s Catholic School received a book of their choice as part of our annual Book Buzz initiative. This exciting event is part of the school’s ongoing commitment to promoting the joys of reading among pupils. We believe that encouraging reading not only fosters creativity and imagination but also contributes to improved academic performance and student wellbeing.

The power of reading extends beyond the classroom, offering pupils a chance to explore new worlds, develop empathy, and unwind. Studies have shown that regular reading helps improve concentration, language skills, and emotional intelligence. At St Peter’s, we are dedicated to nurturing a lifelong love for reading, understanding the profound impact it can have on both personal and academic growth.

Through Book Buzz, our goal is to inspire pupils to make reading an integral part of their daily lives, paving the way for success both in and out of school. We are proud to support our Year 7 pupils in choosing books that resonate with them and look forward to seeing the positive outcomes this initiative will bring.
