Despite some stiff competition, English Martyrs were victorious in the school Summer Reading Challenge competition this year!
The competition, organised by Newcastle City Libraries, encourages children from across the city to visit libraries and read at least 6 books over the summer holidays.
After finishing second in the competition, last year, English Martyrs’ pupils stepped up to the challenge and were awarded the special trophy as well as winning £50 to purchase new books for their school library.
The children also won the chance for a special, in-school performance, by coming to the city in October.
