Taylor Wimpey supports Collaton St Mary school with World Book Day donation

Collaton St Mary Church of England Primary School has received a £200 World Book Day gift card from Taylor Wimpey Exeter as part of the housebuilder’s commitment to the national campaign. 

World Book Day is a charity campaign that takes place in March every year and aims to promote reading for pleasure, offering every child and young person the opportunity to immerse themselves in new tales and to enjoy the experience of sharing their favourite stories with their friends, family and teachers.

In support of the national campaign, the housebuilder selected Collaton St Mary C of E Primary School, near to its St Mary View development, to receive a £200 World Book Day gift card, enabling the school to provide a variety of books for its pupils.

Nicky Postlethwaite, Headteacher at Collaton St Mary C of E Primary School, said: “Our pupils and staff have had a great time celebrating World Book Day and we are really thankful to Taylor Wimpey for reaching out and offering such a kind donation. This offer will benefit many pupils at Collaton St Mary C of E Primary school and we’re pleased to have been given the opportunity to share this with them.”

Caroline Wengradt, Marketing Executive at Taylor Wimpey Exeter, said: “World Book Day is a fantastic celebration. The campaign encourages children and young adults to embrace reading, discover new tales and engage in discussions with their peers. 

“We’re glad to hear pupils at Collaton St Mary C of E Primary School enjoyed World Book Day and we hope that our donation will make a real difference to the school for years to come.”
