Book Week 2025

We have enjoyed a wonderful book filled week and its success is all thanks to the incredible support of our Grimsdell families. From enjoying stories by our talented homegrown authors (former pupils Joshua Flash-Parsons and Bertie Swart-Mallett, along with our very own Mrs. Simon), to supporting our Book Fair, participating as Mystery Readers (both in person and online), and helping your child create their Dress Up Day costume – your involvement has made all the difference! A huge THANK YOU for making Book Week 2025 such a memorable experience for the children.

Please find some photos capturing the highlights of the week’s events in the gallery at the bottom of the page.
