Manor Green Primary School Encourages Family Engagement with "Book and Bagel" Mornings

Manor Green Primary Academy in Denton recently held its first “Book and Bagel” morning, aimed at fostering family engagement and promoting a love for reading among young learners.

Every Tuesday morning, Manor Green Primary School warmly invites early years families into the classroom for a special "Book and Bagel" session. The morning provides an invaluable opportunity for parents and guardians to bond with their children over a shared love of reading while enjoying a delicious bagel.

The morning has already proved a hit with parents, with one commenting: “It's a lovely opportunity to come into the classroom and listen to the children read”.

These engaging sessions aim to not only strengthen the bond between home and school but also provide children with the confidence and joy of sharing their reading skills with other adults.

Victoria Saville, Principal at Manor Green Primary Academy, said: “We are thrilled to see such enthusiastic participation from our early years families, and the positive feedback from parents has been wonderful.

“The 'Book and Bagel' mornings embody our commitment to creating a supportive learning community where every child can thrive."

Manor Green Primary Academy forms part of Focus-Trust. This primary school trust is based in the Northwest of England and West Yorkshire with a vision of providing ‘great schools at the heart of our communities’ where children thrive, achieve and succeed.
