The quartet – from two secondary schools, a primary school and an international school in India respectively – have been shortlisted for their commitment to making a difference to the lives of the pupils they work with.
Emma Suffield, learning resources centre manager at Saint Wilfrid’s CE Academy in Blackburn, has run her school library since 2014. In that time, her determination to engage the school’s 1,400 students in reading has led to an astounding
450 per cent increase in book borrowing.
She uses her blog to post book reviews, highlight library resources, book clubs and daily reading activities and promote the library’s Staff Shout Out display, where students can thank members of staff for their support. At one point she even transformed the library into the Great Hall at Hogwarts School for Witchcraft and Wizardry.
