World Book Day 2026

To celebrate World Book day we had a very special visit from two authors Joseph Hollis and Julia Moscardo, we had a World Book Day breakfast and a dress up day. Children had a day being fully immersed in reading and sharing texts across classes.

Year 6 Residential Hagg Farm

Last week our year 6 pupils represented our school brilliantly whilst attending their residential. They had such resilience and determination and demonstrated our PRIDE values throughout the entire trip. Lots of core memories were made!

Carlton Rotary has links with Edjeba Rotary in Nigeria.

In 2025 a request was made to collect books for children and adults to help stock a new library at Edjeba College in Warri which Edjeba Rotary were renovating.

Carlton Rotary collected range of books from amongst members and from  local Burton Joyce primary school. The 800+ books were packed in sturdy banana boxes for shipping and were presented to the students by Edjeba Rotary.

This project is boosting education and literacy for local students — and Carlton Rotary were delighted to play a small part in it.
