Here's what our Cool Readers Club is all about...

These are our reading stars put forward by their English teacher.  We interview them about their current book, what they like reading about and what they like to do when they’re not reading.  Introducing Alexa...

Alexa likes books which make her laugh! 

The Year 8 is one of our Cool Readers and is currently reading ‘Grandpa’s Great Escape’ by David Walliams. 

“It’s funny. It’s about a grandpa, who fought in World War 2, and a boy and they go on adventures together. 

It’s really interesting and David Walliams is my favourite author. They are funny books which are easy to read. 

“My favourite subject is History. I like the idea of looking back.” 

Out of school Alexa is sporty.  “I play netball for Newman, I am a centre, and I swim for the Leyland Barracudas. My favourite stroke is breast stroke and I am training at the moment but hope to compete soon. 

“I would like a career in sport, perhaps something to do with netball.”
