Each half term, Mrs Sheppard and Miss Rogers look forward to delivering story sessions with every class across the whole school.  We have carefully selected a range of books for each year group which tackle discrimination, question stereotypes, develop self-acceptance and help children learn how to live alongside, and show respect for, a diverse range of people. 

The Day You Begin

'This book is really nice.  It feels like my story.  It's interesting and indulging.'

'A great selection of books covering a wide variety of topics that are so important in society today to help our kids develop into confident, rounded, strong and kind individuals.  Thank you!'
