Thanks to Administration Assistant, Angie Middleton, and the team, the assembly hall was festooned with lollipops, chocolate bars and crazy confections. Entry was by a lucky golden ticket! 

Head of Academy, Kerry Langley - who was dressed as Charlie Bucket’s grandma for the day - welcomed the lucky ticket winners to the hall for a feast of cake and hot buttered toast.

She said: “World Book Day is a tradition here at Kingswood. It’s fantastic that all the staff and children get immersed into it. All the teachers will be reading stories and sharing their favourite books – all dressed as characters. The children will have library time and we’ve held two competitions – one to decorate a paper plate as a book character and a reading challenge.”
