Staff Recommended Reads: Black Lives matter

We are delighted to publish this year's staff recommended reads list. The theme this year is Black Lives Matter. Teachers in the school have read and recommend the following list of titles suitable for children between 3 and 11 years old. 

 We will be showcasing all of these books in a display in the school corridor outside the Head Teacher's office soon. We hope to have inspired you to read on and enjoy the excellent titles.
