Our yearly Book Week focuses on increasing the children's love of reading, improving their writing skills and encouraging them to become acquainted with different authors and literary styles. Popular authors and performing poets such as Jeremy Strong and James Carter have led workshops at Hendon Prep, inspiring pupils to write and experiment with language freely.

The highlight of Book Week is 'Book Character Day' when pupils come dressed as their favourite character! We never fail to be entertained and awe struck by some amazing costumes, ranging from sparkling fairies, to caped Harry Potters and cheeky- grinned Horrid Henrys.

During Book Week last year the Library was transformed into a magical storytelling room where pupils of all ages were able to share and discuss their chosen books.
