The Big Read 2025
Our Third Form pupils have all now embarked on The Big Read, their second reading challenge of the year, which runs from now until the Spring half term.
The challenge is to read at least five books from a booklist of twenty titles and write reviews of what they have read for our library catalogue Accessit.
The Big Read booklist includes award winners, classic fiction, narrative non-fiction, a graphic novel and a story told through poems. It is designed to broaden the pupils’ reading experience by encouraging them to try genres, authors and formats they might not ordinarily choose for themselves.
Individual prizes are awarded to the most engaging and informative reviewers who complete the challenge. There is also a Form prize on offer to the English class which has the greatest number of reviews displaying on Accessit by the deadline of 26th February. The prizes will be presented as part of our World Book Day celebrations in early March, when the Third formers will also get a chance to vote for their favourite book of the challenge.
