Pupils and staff came together to mark this important moment in the Academy’s journey, transforming classrooms into vibrant, literary‑inspired spaces and showcasing the creativity that sits at the heart of the school community. The day offered opportunities for every child to engage with books in ways that were joyful, inclusive and meaningful, reflecting GAT’s wider commitment to nurturing curiosity, confidence and lifelong learning.

Highlights included:

• A strong sense of community pride, as staff and pupils embraced the occasion together.
• A focus on belonging and identity, with activities that encouraged children to see themselves in stories and discover new authors and ideas.

As this was the Academy’s first year marking the event, the scale and enthusiasm behind the celebrations signal the beginning of a new and exciting tradition for the school.
