We are very proud of our library. Our parents organisation, Friends of Powell’s, run fundraising events thoughout the year through which they were able to fund and create the refurbished library. It is a wonderful space for the children to come and use. Reading is at the heart of everything we do at Powell’s. The children make excellent progress and our results are in the top 5% in the country for progress. More importantly, we develop learners who have a love of reading.
Our librarian Mrs Evan keeps us up to date in the world of reading with a monthly library newsletter with news, fun facts, book recommendations from teachers and even a quiz for the children to try!
The first Mr Men book, Mr Tickle, came about when author Roger Hargreaves was asked by his son what a tickle looked like.
