A NOVEL gesture – students at a Rugby primary school have a wider choice of reading material thanks to a donation of books.
Housebuilder Redrow Midlands has gifted a collection of brand-new storybooks to students at Houlton School.
The donation includes a selection of popular and much-loved children’s titles, chosen to encourage a love of reading and spark creativity among pupils.
Lorna Pountney, Head of Houlton School, said: “We are incredibly grateful to Redrow Midlands for this generous donation.
“Access to high-quality books can make a profound difference to a child’s confidence, imagination and academic development. This thoughtful contribution will not only enrich our classrooms but also help foster a genuine love of reading among our pupils.”
Elaine Cartwright, Sales Director for Redrow Midlands, said: “We recognise the vital role reading plays in a child’s development – building confidence, creativity and essential literacy skills.
“By donating these books, we hope to encourage a lasting enthusiasm for reading and help ensure more children have access to stories they can enjoy.”
