On **Thursday 1st October 2026**, we will be joining schools across the UK in celebrating **National Poetry Day**, the UK's biggest annual celebration of poetry.

This year's theme is **"Wonder"**, encouraging children and adults alike to explore curiosity, imagination, awe, nature, discovery and the world around us through poetry.
