Reading for Pleasure

Old Basford School is a 'Reading for Pleasure' school.  Mrs Priddy will be sharing more information with you about this throughout the academic year.  We have shared with you some stories recorded by our school staff for you to enjoy together. 

2024 - 2025

Book fair

The book fair will be returning from the 24th - 26th March. Once again you can use your World Book Day vouchers to get £1 off any book! 

World Book Day

Old Basford school celebrated World Book day on the 6th March. The children all enjoyed coming to school 'comfortable' or in some fantastic fancy dress outfits. The children had lots of fun sharing books, reading together and being creative. Our 'books and biscuits' parent event was very well attended and it was lovely seeing so many children enjoying this quality time together.

Parent reading volunteers

We have recently requested more parent support for any willing volunteers. Please speak to Mrs Priddy if you are able to offer some of your time!

Book fair

The book fair returned to Old Basford in November and raised over £100 for school in book vouchers! Thanks again to everyone who was able to support us by buying a book.
