On Thursday March 6th we celebrated World Book Day. This had been carefully planned to ensure that everyone was able to participate in a way that suited them.
We had ‘The BIG book swap’ – Students and staff had been asked if they had any old books that they would like to donate and we then set up a stall where people were able to bring a book into school and swap it with a favoured choice from the table. This was a popular feature with some of our students who really enjoyed being able to browse a varied selection of books.
There are many people that love an opportunity to don a fancy-dress outfit at GHS and what better way to showcase a fine display of carefully selected costumes than World Book Day 2025!
This year we had such an amazing turnout that included Evie the Pokémon, Friar Tuck, King Kong, Where’s Wally, Harry Potter, Winnie the Pooh, a minion, The Phantom of the Opera, Atticus Finch, Cruella Deville, a Power Ranger and Black Panther. The costumes were really impressive and there were prizes for the best dressed student and staff.
Best dressed student went to Michael for his superb Peter Pan costume and best dressed staff member went to our very own ‘Gangsta Granny’, Sophie Tait – Both worthy winners!
We also held a “Masked Reader” quiz which worked by staff providing information for students to then guess their identity!
