Bedford is proud to reveal that is has its very own Reading Olympians who have recently been awarded their gold medals. In order to qualify for a gold medal, students had to read 4 library books or 2 novels within the term. We are so proud that 59 children in total managed to reach for gold - an amazing achievement by them all.

Children are encouraged to continue their reading as at the end of every term the number of children who have reached gold will be counted and the class with the highest number will be crowned overall champion.

Don't forget that children are encouraged to stay until 3.30pm on a Tuesday to read in homework club.
