Mrs McClure

21st May 2026

On Tuesday, we welcomed acclaimed author SF Said to officially open our newly refurbished library. Huge thanks to the Solefield Parents' Association (SPA) and Mrs Rogan for creating such a wonderful space.

Pupils loved meeting the author, hearing about Varjak Paw, and having books signed — a truly inspiring experience.

There was excitement across the school about the visit and our wonderful new library:

Millie (4R): “SF Said was inspiring.”
Shayan (4R): “This was one of the best days of my life.”
Elizabeth (4R): “SF Said told us how to write stories better!” 
Charles (6GC): “This is the coolest library ever!” Cam (4R): “I love it.” 
Tom (4R): “We now have many more comfy seats.” 
Samuel (1CM): “I can’t wait to go to school so I can chill in the library.”
