Now in its 27th year, World Book Day aims to encourage young people to discover the joy of reading. Sarah McCurdy, Acting Headteacher at St Philip’s Catholic Primary School, said: “Reading is such an important life skill and something that we encourage all of our pupils to do more of.

"Having new books to get stuck into helps to keep up an enthusiasm for reading and we would like to thank Taylor Wimpey for their kind donation.”

Jason Stokes, Sales and Marketing Director for Taylor Wimpey South East, said: “World Book Day is a great opportunity to celebrate books and reading and we were delighted to support St Philip’s Catholic Primary School with a donation.

The World Book Day donation to St Philip’s Catholic Primary School is one of many ways in which Taylor Wimpey is supporting the local communities in which it builds.
