World Book Day 2026

The LRC hosted a magical Harry Potter themed spectacular to celebrate World Book Day and showcase Heston’s love of good literature and it’s remarkable ability for fantastical escapism. KS3 were invited to engage in a dress up zone with Harry Potter costumes and wizardry props and spellbinding scratch masks uniquely designed by the students. A photo booth style activity saw students donning marvellous moustaches and fabulous hats and comedy glasses to create characters linked to their favourite texts. Other games included ‘Guess the genre’, ‘Duck Hunt’ and ‘Guess the number of bookworms in the jar’. WBD was the catalyst we needed to create excitement and a book buzz that we hope lasts!
