We’re excited to share that our students have taken part in the National Reading Champions Quiz 2026! 📚
This brilliant event brought together knowledge, teamwork and a genuine love of reading. Our students rose to the challenge, showing not only their understanding of books and authors, but also fantastic collaboration and confidence under pressure.
A huge thank you to National Literacy Trust for organising such an inspiring opportunity for young readers. Moments like these remind us why reading matters - it builds connection and a lifelong love of stories!
Save The Date!
The Year 10 Future Focus Evening will take place at Cantell School on 25th February from 5.30-7.30pm. This is an event not to be missed and affords parents and students the opportunity to talk to representatives from Colleges, Universities, Apprenticeship and Training Providers as well as a number of local and National businesses to find out more about post 16 options.
Please ensure you have the date and time for the Year 10 Future Focus Evening in your diary.

📚✨ SAVE THE DATE – WORLD BOOK DAY! ✨📚
World Book Day is coming soon and we’re already counting down!
🗓 Thursday 5th March 2026 - a celebration of stories, imagination and the joy of reading together.
Students are welcome to dress as their favourite book character (simple costumes are absolutely fine!) and every student will receive a £1 World Book Day book token to spend on a special book.
🎭 If you dress up, you’ll earn House Points for your effort and creativity!
👕 Not dressing up? No problem at all - this is not a non-uniform day, so students should wear their usual school uniform if they choose not to take part in costume.
More details coming soon… let the countdown begin! 📖💛
