“We recognise the vital role reading plays in a child’s development – building confidence, creativity and essential literacy skills”
A leading housebuilder in Leighton Buzzard has donated children’s books to a local school, helping to inspire young readers and support literacy within the community.
Redrow South Midlands has gifted a collection of brand-new storybooks to pupils at Icknield School, ensuring children have access to engaging and imaginative reading materials both in the classroom and at home.
The donation includes a selection of popular and much-loved children’s titles, carefully chosen to encourage a lifelong love of reading and spark creativity among pupils of all ages.
Andrew Newman, Sales Director for Redrow South Midlands, said: “At Leestone Chase, we are committed to building thriving communities that make Leighton Buzzard such a wonderful place to live – supporting local schools and the younger generations in the region is an important part of that commitment.
“We recognise the vital role reading plays in a child’s development – building confidence, creativity and essential literacy skills. By donating these books we hope to encourage a lasting enthusiasm for reading and help ensure more children have access to stories they can enjoy.”
Sean Cannon, Headteacher at Icknield School, said: “We are incredibly grateful to Redrow South Midlands for this generous donation.
“Access to high-quality books can make a profound difference to a child’s confidence, imagination and academic development. This thoughtful contribution will not only enrich our classrooms but also help foster a genuine love of reading among our pupils – thank you, Redrow South Midlands!”
