World book day 2026

Dear Families 

For many years the Newton Families have very generously supported the School through the twice yearly book sale. 

This year, the Fundraising Group is trialling a new approach by introducing an Amazon Wish List for World Book Day. 

Each class teacher has created a list of books tailored to the needs of their class. Their choices reflect upcoming topics, books that need replacing or refreshing and suggestions from the children themselves. 

We’d be delighted if families could review the list by Friday 28th February and consider purchasing a book (or two!) for their child’s class. The list can also be shared more widely, and we would be grateful if you would pass this on to grandparents or others who may wish to support your children and the school. 

If you are in a position to support the school in this way, please have a look through, and if you see something you would like to buy, just follow the same process as you would if you were ordering something for yourself. 

Items will be delivered directly to the school in time for World Book Day on Thursday 5th March, when they will be shared and enjoyed in classrooms.

This initiative will replace the Spring Book Sale. While we recognise that children will not be choosing and buying their own books or stationery this term, we hope this approach will have greater impact by giving teachers more flexibility to choose books that best support learning and ensuring all funds that are raised are directed straight to the school. 

Thank you, as always, for your continued support.
