Times Books For Schools

The first phase is over; the second phase started on April 19th. We've ordered seven books for the English Department and one for the Library.


The second stage started on April 19th and we would be very grateful to receive as many vouchers as possible. So if you ever buy The Times, please remember to cut out the vouchers and send them in to the Library. There is a box in the Library to put them in.

World Book Day Competition

On UNESCO World Book Day, April 23rd, members of staff will be wearing badges depicting famous scientists or inventors and authors of famous science books.

The entry form lists book titles, inventions or discoveries; all you need to do is write the name of the staff member and the name of the scientist on their badge against the title, invention or discovery e.g. Mr Bloggs has a badge depicting Anon from Egypt who invented the wig. (In fact Anon was such a prolific inventor that he is not included in the competition, so don't go looking for him on the form.)

There are 33 badges to find. If at the end of the competition there is a tie, there will be a tie-breaker in the Library, and/or a Senior and Junior prize.

Badge wearers will answer "Yes" or "No" if you think you know the identity of the person on their badge, but please don't pester them with lots of questions; they have work to do.

There will be books to help you in the Library.

World Book Day - Books That Changed the World

In this Year of Darwin a lot has been written and talked about The Books That Changed the World.

We would like to know if there is a book which has changed your world; for example, something that turned you onto reading, or introduced you to a subject for which you now have a passion, or simply a book which really stands out as the best book you ever read.

You can fill in one of the postcards which will be around the school, or e-mail to

The Rest of the World is out of step with Britain and celebrates World Book Day on 23rd April - Shakespeare's birthday (maybe) and the day Shakespeare died (definitely).

KEGS is joining the rest of the world on this day and there will be several activities to help us to celebrate books and reading. Watch this space ..........
