Spark! School Book Awards

The Highway Primary School is pleased to announce that this year we are involved in the
Spark! School Book Awards.

The aim is for children to read four shortlisted books in their age category over the next few months. Children can take part in live Q&A sessions with the authors, are able to enter competitions and finally vote on their favourite book which will be announced in an online awards ceremony in June. We hope along the way there will be plenty of opportunity for your child to be involved in discussions about the books and further interaction with the authors involved.

The shortlists were announced recently, as a result of submissions from publishers and a shortlisting process carried out by groups of teachers and librarians from across the country.

The shortlisted books are here and below:

 
We will be ordering a number of the shortlisted books, which we will make available to pupils but if you would like to buy copies of any of the books for your child’s personal use, Spark! offers schools the chance to purchase books at a significant discount for a limited time. Books will then be delivered to the school for distribution. This discount is only available by ordering through the school and not the wholesalers directly.
