Countesthorpe Academy was bursting with creativity, colour and character this World Book Day, as students and staff came together to celebrate the magic of reading.
Our students truly shone this year! The effort and imagination poured into their costumes were nothing short of brilliant, from vibrant fantasy figures to classic literary icons, every outfit showcased a genuine love for stories and storytelling! A huge well‑done to everyone who dressed up and brought their favourite characters to life.
Congratulations also go to our costume prize winners, whose standout looks earned them some well‑deserved goodies!
As part of the celebration, all Year 7 and Year 8 students received a free World Book Day book and took part in a series of fun competitions during their library lessons, helping to spark new reading interests and encourage book‑based discussions.
Our fantastic faculty also stepped into character, adding to the excitement with their own imaginative costumes. Seeing teachers transform into beloved heroes, villains, and storybook favourites created a wonderfully joyful atmosphere across the academy.
World Book Day is all about celebrating the power of imagination, and this year, our school community did exactly that.
Here’s to more reading, more imagining, and many more stories still to come. 💫📖
