NEW BOOKS

Diverse and Inclusive Books

&

Language Books

We have just received a delivery of new books to enhance our

growing stock of books that support our commitment to being an inclusive school.

It is important that every child should be able to see themselves in the books that they read. 

We have 'Kiki Kalira Breaks a Kingdom, a joyful adventure inspired by Hindu legends, 'What Lexie Did' featuring the escapades of a London-based Greek-Cyriot family,  'Anisha, Accidental Detective' and 'Hair Love' with a BAME main character.

We also have books with neurodivergent characters such as 'Can You See Me? and ' Pablo and the Noisy Party' whose main character has autism or 'Double Felix', a story that deals with living with OCD. We also have books in which there are characters with various medical conditions such as 'The Extraordinary Colours of Auden Dare' which deals with colour-blindness.

Our language book corner is growing with books in a wide-range of world languages such as 

Chinese, Ukrainian, Hindu, German and Polish. Many of these books are dual-language and are aimed at all age and reading levels.
