Reading matters at Waldegrave, which is why as part of our commitment to encourage reading for pleasure our English Department runs an annual reading challenge with Year 7. Our Readathon invites students to read as many books as they can during October and to try to get sponsored for their reading. This can be as little as £1 and funds raised go towards @readforgood as well as some being used for new books in our school library. We are very proud to have raised over £50,000 for this charity over the past 20 years and appreciate any and all support with this initiative. #goallin #literacy #readingmatters #waldegraveschool #enjoyachieveempower
