National Poetry Day is the annual celebration on the first Thursday of October that encourages all to enjoy, discover and share poetry. This year, National Poetry Day took place on 7 October 2021, and the theme was Choice.

National Poetry Day generates an explosion of activity nationwide, thousands of amazing events across the UK – on doorsteps and at kitchen tables, in gardens and streets, in schools, libraries and public spaces both online and offline – all celebrating poetry’s power to bring people together.

COVID19 👈

Following current guidance, we do not have year group ‘bubbles’ and children and staff will be able to mix with each other throughout the school day. Bubbles may have to be reintroduced when necessary. 

Classes are set up differently to last year and children will go to Key stage assemblies. We will continue to have whole school assemblies virtually for the time being.

We will have staggered break and lunchtimes. This is to ensure that lunchtimes runs smoothly and children have more space on the playground.
