“Books make great gifts because they have whole worlds inside of them.”

“Reading gives us someplace to go when we have to stay where we are.”

“The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more you learn, the more places you’ll go.”

“A book is a gift you can open again and again.”

At St. Mary's Catholic Primary School, we are passionate about reading. We are passionate about the world of opportunities it can open up for children, both now and in the future, and we are passionate about providing the best quality books for all our children.

We are LESS passionate about running but nevertheless, a group of us all linked to the school are planning on running (inc. jogging and walking!) the Bognor 10k on Sunday 12th May and we're keen to use this as an opportunity to raise some funds for reading books for the children at the school, both now and for those who will follow in the future.
