Following last years successful event which raised over £2000 to improve our reading provision throughout school, the amazing staff at St. Margarets have agreed to dig out their Lycra and hit the streets in preparation for a Rudolph Re-run for Reading!

Once again, the PTA have given us their support as our traditional Christmas Fayre is still unfeasible due to ongoing Covid restrictions in school settings.

This year, any funds raised will go towards revamping our current reading scheme. This will have a positive impact throughout school and will help bring some of our ageing resources up to date.

Therefore, on Sunday the 5th December the staff are once again putting their bodies on the line to raise funds for books.

They will travel by foot from Far Horsforth to Leeds City Square a distance of 10km and we are hopeful that you will support their efforts by donating to our Just Giving page.

Remember the more funds raised, the more new books and the more engaged our children will be in our mission to get every child 'Reading fluently' for pleasure.

There is no limit on how much or little you can give, and of course feel free to pass on the details to friends, family and colleagues who may want to donate to this worthy cause.

Finally, if you happen to be travelling on the A65 between Horsforth and Leeds between 9.00am and 11.00am look out for our Red -nosed runners!

We will keep the school Twitter feed abreast of our progress and hopefully fill our shelves with fantastic new reading books in the new year!
