WORLD BOOK DAY 2026 We are delighted to announce that Sir William Robertson Academy will be celebrating World Book Day on Thursday 5th March. This special event is a wonderful opportunity to promote the joy of reading across our school community. As part of the celebrations, students and staff are warmly invited to come to school dressed as their favourite book characters. House points will be awarded to the best dressed students, so we hope to see plenty of creativity on the day! In addition to the costumes, Mrs Costello will be hosting a series of exciting, book-related activities in the library, and there will also be themed activities taking place during base time. During assembly time of World Book Day, Mrs Bridges (Head of English) will be speaking to students about the 'Read for Good charity' and inviting them to take part in a sponsored Readathon, which will run from Friday 6th March - Monday 16th March.
