A quick reminder from the library to return your library books—and tell us, have you had a look at this year’s Carnegie Awards Writing Shortlist? We will be discussing each book in Y9 Book Club soon! Let us know what you think.

Year 7 students were at the Awards Ceremony for the Warwickshire Book Awards this morning, listening to authors, celebrating amazing books, and enjoying a joyful finale to their reading challenge.

Eid Mubarak from the TPS Library!

We celebrate #britishscienceweek with books, books, and more books, because of course, even Einstein had to start somewhere.

For #internationalwomensday, we recognise the achievements of women everywhere and encourage our students to dream boldly, learn courageously, and uplift one another.

Today’s highlight was definitely the World Book Day Character Hunt, where students eagerly searched for staff wearing character badges, swapping clues and celebrating each discovery. Many happy hunters walked away with books to continue their reading adventures!

📚Happy World Book Day! 📚 At our school, reading matters—not just for learning and excellence, but also for inspiring curiosity and creativity. Each key stage has hosted special Reading Assemblies where students share the books they love. Wonderful work from everyone involved!

Thank you to Peter L (Y12) for his brilliant book talk on On the Wall by Anne Fine. He led participating Year 7s in a discussion about book themes such as identity and consequences as part of the Warwickshire Book Awards. It was a lively, interactive session, and wonderfully attended too!

Today lunchtime, students were sampling stories like gourmet dishes and discovering new favourites. Some flavours may not have been to everyone's taste, but we definitely had a a full feast of fiction!

Welcome back after Half‑Term! Today Year 7s joined a lively book talk led by Alana (Y12) on The Line They Drew Through Us by Hiba Noor Khan, exploring culture, recent history, friendship and roots. It was a lovely time hearing some usually quiet voices speak up, showing the power of a great story!
