‘Books crowbar the world open for you.’
(from ‘Rooftoppers’ by Katherine Rundell)

At Malvern, we aim to foster a life-long love of reading.  Extensive research points to the many benefits of children developing a reading for pleasure habit. Our library is well-stocked and open daily.  Please click here for opening times. We publish a reading for pleasure newsletter and hold regular book fairs and frequently host author visits.

Tuesday assemblies feature our weekly Book Build-Up.  A representative from each class is presented with a wrapped-up secret book – with the label giving a few hints about the book.  The book is displayed in class – and on Fridays, the Reader of the Week gets to unwrap the mystery tome.
