  • World Book Day 2026

    We are delighted to announce that Merton Junior School will be celebrating World Book Day on Thursday 5th March 2026!

    Pupils are invited to come to school dressed as their favourite book character and, if they wish, bring along a copy of their chosen book to share with classmates. This year, there will be special prizes awarded for the most creative costumes — with a big focus on handmade designs, recycled materials and imaginative props.

    As part of the celebration, every child will receive a £1 World Book Day token to use towards a book of their choice at participating bookshops and supermarkets.

    We can’t wait to enjoy a day filled with wonderful stories, creativity, and a shared love of reading! 📖✨
