Longvernal Loves Reading: a sentence that is often uttered within the community of Longvernal, couldn’t be truer this Autumn! With the highest uptake of the Summer Reading Challenge in all the schools in Midsomer Norton, Longvernal School is certainly proud to show off its avid readers. As a Reading for Pleasure School, the written word is valued highly. “I’m not surprised,” commented the Literacy Coordinator, Cindy James. “The cognitive, social and emotional benefits are so well documented, at Longvernal we ensure reading permeates all that we do.” Year 4 pupil William also won the ‘Wild World Hero’ Art competition. A huge well done to all who took part and the library services for providing such a valuable resource.
