To raise money to support our Year 7 Bookbuzz Project, new books for the library and our future library refurbishment, we held a Harry Potter themed disco on World Book Day, Thursday 6th March.
Fancy dress was encouraged, with both staff and students joining in with the fun. Our hall became Hogwarts along with all the spoils of Diagon Alley – Honeydukes sweet shop, Olivanders wand shop and The Leaky Cauldron for beverages.
We have made over £300 in profit and counting, there are still some sweets for sale in the library. This has allowed us to sign-up to Bookbuzz for next year’s new starters; Mrs Wells will be taking a group of students into Hinckley to buy some books for the library and £50 as a starting point for a future library refurbishment (we will be holding more events/fundraising activities for this in the near future).
