To celebrate and encourage a lifelong love of reading at home and school, Buckden CofE Primary Academy are running a sponsored read between 13th and 22nd February.

The project is being organised in conjunction with their local Usborne Partner, Emma-Jane Page with Storytime with Molly, and all the money raised will go towards brand new books for our school. In addition to the sponsorship money, Usborne will also donate up to 60% of the total raised in EXTRA FREE BOOKS to the school. So, for every £600 raised, they will get an extra £360 in FREE Usborne books!

Their target is to raise £600 in sponsor money, with Usborne donating an additional £360 of books for free. This will give them a total of £960 to spend on new books and resources for our children.

Please help them to enhance their reading resources for pupils by encouraging your child to spend a small amount of time each day either reading to themselves, to others, or being read to. They can read books, comics, magazines, newspapers, menus, websites, recipes, poems, leaflets, instructions – anything with words!
