"I’m grateful to have my daughter in this school both management and teaching staff are great supporters and great to communicate with."

Gifford Primary School was filled with creativity, imagination and a love of literature as we celebrated World Book Day 2026 with a special Shakespearean theme.
Pupils across the school explored the magic of storytelling through a range of exciting activities including themed lessons, drama workshops, reading sessions and creative costume designs inspired by famous literary characters. From kings and queens to poets and playwrights, our classrooms were transformed into vibrant spaces where books truly came to life.
Families also joined us for special reading opportunities, helping to strengthen our shared commitment to promoting a lifelong love of reading. Events like these reflect the strong reading culture at Gifford, where pupils’ creativity and enthusiasm for books are celebrated across all year groups.
World Book Day at Gifford was a wonderful reminder that stories connect us, inspire us and help us grow as confident readers and learners.
