Despite nearly taking place a month ago, World Book Day celebrations at Kings Academy Oakwood in Binfield were boosted by a sizeable book voucher donation from Taylor Wimpey West London.
The school received a £250 book voucher from the homebuilder in support of the national event which took place on Thursday, March 2.
Pupils at Kings Academy Oakwood celebrated the annual event by dressing up as their favourite characters and bringing along their most treasured books.

There were also numerous reading sessions that took place throughout the day.
Miss Helen Kenney, teacher at Kings Academy, said: “Our pupils really enjoyed the occasion and can’t wait for next year to do it all over again.
"Thanks to Taylor Wimpey’s donation, we’ll be able to purchase a variety of books to support all our students in their learning and development.”
