World Book Day 2026

Come to school dressed as a book character on Thursday 5 March 2026.

World Book Day is a major annual, worldwide charity event taking place on 5 March in 2026 dedicated to promoting the joy of reading.

The primary goal is to encourage children to explore the pleasure of books and reading, fostering imagination, empathy, and improved literacy.

World Book Day helps every child own a book by providing a free £1 book token which can be exchanged for a book in participating retailers. See participating retailers here.

Book tokens will be sent home with children today and can be used until 15.03.26. Please ask your child about their token or check their book bag.
