Fountains High School raise funds to spend on Usborne books

To celebrate and encourage a lifelong love of reading at home and school, we are running a sponsored read between Monday 3rd – Sunday 9th March 2025 to coincide with World Book Day.

The project is being organised in conjunction with our local Usborne Partner, Emily Patterson, and all the money raised will go towards brand new books for our school. In addition to the sponsorship money, Usborne will also donate up to 60% of the total raised in EXTRA FREE BOOKS to the school. So, for every £600 raised, we will get an extra £360 in FREE Usborne books!

Our target is to raise £300 in sponsor money, with Usborne donating an additional £90 of books for free. This will give us a total of £390 to spend on new books and resources for our students.

Please help us to enhance our reading resources for pupils by encouraging your child to spend a small amount of time each day either reading to themselves, to others, or being read to. They can read books, comics, magazines, newspapers, menus, websites, recipes, poems, leaflets, instructions – anything with words!

The student from each department who reads for the highest number of minutes across the week will receive a £5 book voucher, with the student from each department who raises the most sponsorship money receiving a £10 book voucher to spend on a book of their choice.

If you are able to support our sponsored read please pay your sponsorship money via our Go Fund Me page.

We look forward to having lots more books for your child to read, share and enjoy.
