This week we have launched the National Year of Reading at Belmont with a series of assemblies for Years 7-10 to explore the importance of reading for pleasure, learning and life. 

The Spring Term theme is ‘Reading in the Room’ and we will explore high quality texts that link to subjects across the curriculum.  Students can also visit our library which will feature Recommended Reads from each department.

Look out for our World Book Day celebrations, including a weekly tutor quiz house competition, in March.
