Haydock High School Celebrates World Book Day
On Thursday 2nd March, Haydock High School celebrated World Book Day, with events taking place throughout the week. On Wednesday 1st March we invited author Hazel Paine, a children’s/teenage writer, to talk to our students and present her new science fiction novel ‘Soulsight’; Year 7 and 8 classes were involved in the Workshops and the students really enjoyed the day, where they learned how to improve their creative writing.
On Thursday it was World Book Day and several members of staff from the English Department and Library dressed up as book characters, including the ‘Cat in the Hat’, ‘Alice in Wonderland’ and ‘Cruella De Vil’. The students enjoyed a quiz as well as having the opportunity to design their own book token, with Mrs Bennett generously raffling a “Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children” cake, the proceeds of which will go to support the charity Bookaid.
Everyone at Haydock High School would like to thank Mrs Bennett and the members of staff involved that made World Book Day, and the week as a whole, so special and fun filled. Our thanks also go to author Hazel Paine for taking the time to visit our school and spend time discussing literature and creative writing with our students.

Over the last few years we have been successful in achieving Sportsmark, Investors in People, Artsmark, Careers and Guidance and Healthy Schools accreditation. We were also awarded the accolade of a ‘Get Set’ school in the run-up to the 2012 London Olympics.
