For the fourth year in succession Anagh Coar Primary School, which this year is celebrating its 40th anniversary, has won the award for having the most pupils to have completed the Summer Reading Challenge.
Supported by the Henry Bloom Noble Library the challenge - this year celebrating with ‘The Big Friendly Read’ the 100th anniversary of the birth of children’s author Roald Dahl - tasks children to register at the library, then read six books over the school holidays and attend activity sessions and collect incentives along the way.
In recognition of the school’s achievement borough librarian Jan Macartney, together with senior library assistant Shirley Moore, architect of inspirational activity sessions for young readers, presented head teacher Rob Coole with a £100 book token donated by Douglas Borough Council.
