A TURN-up for the books – pupils at a Rugby primary school are turning over a new leaf thanks to a literary donation.
St Oswald’s Academy was gifted 120 books, chosen by volunteers from Amazon in Rugby, with the aim of inspiring a love of reading among its students.
Four volunteers from the Rugby team also visited the school to take part in a reading workshop.
Headteacher Jayne Geran said: “We are absolutely thrilled by this wonderful donation and the time given by Amazon’s volunteers during our reading workshop.
“The books will make a real and lasting difference to our pupils’ reading journeys, and the enthusiasm our students showed during the session was fantastic to see.”
Jennifer Arakkal from Amazon in Rugby said: “Reading opens up so many avenues for young people, and having our volunteers in the classroom made it even more special. We look forward to finding more ways to support local schools and families in the Rugby community.”
