Reading Schools Core Award

We are thrilled to announce that Knox is now officially a Reading School as we have now earned our Core Award. The Core award is given to schools in Scotland who show a real love for books and reading. Pupils and Staff have been working hard this year to achieve this award. Some of the fantastic work we undertook to achieve the award included creating book trailers, celebrating World Book Day, taking part in the Carnegies Book award, and attending the Edinburgh Book Festival. We are thrilled to be able to end the year with the award and, after a well-deserved break, are looking forward to starting work on our Silver award very soon.
