During our DEAR (Drop Everything and Read) time, students visited the library to select their book from a collection of 16 exciting titles through the BookTrust Bookbuzz programme. The programme aims to inspire a lifelong love of reading by encouraging young people to explore different genres, discover new authors and develop confidence in choosing books for themselves. To make the occasion even more special, each book contains a commemorative GSHS 50th anniversary sticker, providing students with a lasting keepsake from this milestone year in our school's history. The event also supports the National Year of Reading 2026, a nationwide campaign encouraging people of all ages to rediscover the joy of reading. This year's theme, *Go All In*, highlights how reading can help us connect more deeply with the things we already love. We hope our Year 7 students enjoy their new books and that this special gift encourages them to continue reading for pleasure throughout their time at Great Sankey High School and beyond. Happy reading, Year 7! ![](https://files.schudio.com/great-sankey-high-school/images/gallery/national-reading/1.jpg) ![](https://files.schudio.com/great-sankey-high-school/images/gallery/national-reading/2.jpg) ![](https://files.schudio.com/great-sankey-high-school/images/gallery/national-reading/3.jpg) ![](https://files.schudio.com/great-sankey-high-school/images/gallery/national-reading/4.jpg) ![](https://files.schudio.com/great-sankey-high-school/images/gallery/national-reading/5.jpg) ![](https://files.schudio.com/great-sankey-high-school/images/gallery/national-reading/6.jpg) ![](https://files.schudio.com/great-sankey-high-school/images/gallery/national-reading/7.jpg) ![](https://files.schudio.com/great-sankey-high-school/images/gallery/national-reading/8.jpg) ![](https://files.schudio.com/great-sankey-high-school/images/gallery/national-reading/9.jpg) ![](https://files.schudio.com/great-sankey-high-school/images/gallery/national-reading/10.jpg) [50 Years](https://greatsankey.org/news/tag/50-years) [Love Reading](https://greatsankey.org/news/tag/love-reading) [ Sarah Hall MP Officially Opens ‘The Compass’ at Great Sankey High School](https://greatsankey.org/news/2026-11-10-sarah-hall-mp-officially-opens-the-compass-at-great-sankey-high-school) ### Our School - [Welcome from the Executive Principal](https://greatsankey.org/our-school/headteacher-s-message) - [Our Values & Ethos](https://greatsankey.org/our-school/our-values) - [Virtual Tour](https://greatsankey.org/our-school/virtual-tours) - [Our Staff](https://greatsankey.org/our-school/staff) - [News](https://greatsankey.org/news) - [Admissions](https://greatsankey.org/our-school/admissions) - [Open Evening](https://greatsankey.org/our-school/open-evening) - [School Performance Information](https://greatsankey.org/our-school/results) - [Ofsted Information](https://greatsankey.org/our-school/ofsted-information) - [Policies and Reports](https://greatsankey.org/our-school/policies-and-reports) - [Governance](https://greatsankey.org/our-school/governance) - [Work For Us](https://greatsankey.org/recruitment) - [Prospectus](https://greatsankey.org/our-school/school-prospectus) - [Omega Multi Academy Trust](https://greatsankey.org/our-school/omega-multi-academy-trust) - [Contact Us](https://greatsankey.org/contact) ![Great Sankey High School](https://files.schudio.com/great-sankey-high-school/images/logo/Omega_Part_of_Logo_White_Mono.png) **Great Sankey High School** Barrow Hall Lane Warrington Cheshire WA5 3AA Tel: 01925 724118 Fax: 01925 727396 Email: ## Follow Us - [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/GreatSankeyHS/) - [LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/company/omega-multi-academy-trust) - [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/great_sankey_high_school/) ## Translation © Copyright 2016–2026 Great Sankey High School School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://greatsankey.org/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/) Update cookies preferences
