Staff Book Club

Staff agree on a book to read and arrange to meet up in our school library during home learning club once a half term to discuss it; this allows students to see us as reading role models and it benefits our wellbeing too

Everyone has their own perspective so the discussions are varied and interesting

Over the summer holidays we read:

There was divided opinion over this book, with some staff really enjoying it and other staff not liking it.

Our current read is –
